So proud of this book making #coding #creators not users! Every project relates to everyday tech kids use and teaches them how to make it themselves. A total labour of love. @NicolaO_B @CareerswithSTEM #Author #amwriting #educhat #t4l
Just published:
Ready, Set, Code! introduces kids to coding with illustrated step-by-step instructions for hands-on projects. Kids can learn to create a chatbot, construct a burglar alarm, make digital art and music, and launch a citizen science project. publish.csiro.au/book/7911

Think about careers in terms of STEM + X, where X is your passion/interest. Into fashion? Mix it with tech to create immersive beauty experiences online. Sports? Mathematicians can help athletes perform at their best. - @hcatchpole @QUT #QUTOpenDay #CareerswithSTEM #STEMdegrees
