My 7-year-old is building arcade games.
I'm building AI automation workflows.
Neither of us knows how to "code."
Last night, same table:
Him: MakeCode Arcade (drag-and-drop blocks)
Me: Claude Code + n8n (natural language prompts)
Both of us: creating real, working products.

Training and deploying ML model on the #microbit using #CreateAI allows for real-time responses to action, opening up immense possibilities for #MakeCode and microbit combined projects.
But currently, it seems that there is a significant delay when incorporating the radio. Are there any suggestions to optimize this?@microbit_edu
