🧵 What is a Bitcoin node, really?
People say “run your own node” like it’s obvious.
But what even is a node? And why should you care?
Let’s make it simple. 👇
Got to spend the day with a brilliant grade 8 student from @MNSStars beginning to design an AI controlled robotic hand with some inspiration from the @UNB_IBME prosthetic hand. @brilliant_labs @ASD_South
Big congrats to the students at @NackawicS for successfully putting together their new XCarve from @Inventables ! They were so excited and proud to make their first design for their principal Mr. Jones. @brilliant_labs
Students at @NackawicS getting hands-on putting together their new Xcarve. @Inventables @brilliant_labs. @CowboyExpo
Week #2 of cardboard robotics with grades 3-8 at @RidgeKeswick. Things are coming together! Next week microbits, click boards and #bboard. @brilliant_labs @microbit_edu @mikroel
Check out the newest #bBoard supported click from @mikroel, the heartrate click! We are so excited to see the blending of physical activities, science, math, coding and more with this! Map BPM to motor speed or use it as a switch, it's up to you! @brilliant_labs @microbit_edu
We’ve got one last Christmas Click treat for you! The Air Quality 3 Click with the #bBoard will measure equivalent CO2 and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) for your next environmental projects. @mikroel @brilliant_labs @microbit_edu
It’s finally here! The Rec&Play click provides up to 32 minutes of endless playback/recording fun for your #microbit #bBoard projects. The blocks will be on our bBoard.now.sh website in the next week or two. @microbit_edu @brilliant_labs @mikroel
Check out the newest click board we will soon support on our bBoard.now.sh IDE! The UV 3 Click. @KayoeStewart it’s time to test out your theories of cheap sunglasses with no UV coating and pupil dialations! #bBoard @microbit_edu @brilliant_labs @mikroel
Well done @RachelleBernier ! This will make an incredible difference in his life and many others. Thank you!
NBs #musician and composer Terry Gadsden is the first recipient of our #guitar fretter prototype.Wishing him happy playing for the first time in years since his #stroke.This is why I love my job. #rehabilitation #engineering #makers #adaptive #3Dprinting @arduino @LarriveeGuitars
We are testing some pretty cool stuff here @brilliant_labs. So my apologies while I spam you all with a few tweets of testing the new bBoard 0.3 integration with Twitter. #bBoardTest

Have you tried the popular 'Intro to Computer Science with the micro:bit' curriculum? makecode.microbit.org/course…
@MSMakeCode just added new professional development materials to accompany the course - they'll help you both learn & teach it. Includes classroom aids & videos 📽️
What a great idea
In 50 minutes, 4th graders were able to construct their simple artistic scribbling machines. It gives us great satisfaction to hear their joy, comments, description and laughs; meaningful learning through tinkering @immaginario_IS #Tinkering #scribblingmachines #STEAM #Trieste

A brilliant way to end a brilliant week. Our own 3D Printer Whisperer admires his first prints from his own printer... which is over 2.5 metres tall! @brilliant_labs @ASDWLimelight @FHS_Innovation @FHSSCIENCE2 @infoamfred

What a fantastic use of a neopixel strip and the bboard! We're measuring the amount of force behind each of Tommy's shots! #bboard #microbit @brilliant_labs @labos_creatifs
Incredible! No other way to describe the grade 5 kids @MemorialNasis comparing the amount of steps in 3 different activities of their choice! All coded by them with the @microbit_edu inside a sock around their ankle and displayed on 60 neopixels with the @brilliant_labs b.Board!
Well here we are, Friday! While it might be the end of the #HourOfCode tweets for the year, it certainly won’t be the end of coding! Take a look at some of the resources I posted this week, ask for help and #staybrilliant #afterthehour. @brilliant_labs
