I am pleased to present my design for a LEGO NXT pet feeder robot: youtu.be/Mh6lCPj7e4c. Let me know if you would like one! I am retiring from the field of robotics and moving into School Counselling. This year marks my first year as a Provisional Psychologist with the DET.

Are you a parent or guardian? If a child is unwell, do not send them to childcare or school. Promote good hand hygiene and keep then at home until the symptoms resolve. #COVID19

Had some fun preparing a resource for maths teachers at the @STEM_Share Bega SDD, creating a tool to measure distance using the @microbit_edu and the ultrasonic sensor and using @MSMakeCode to program it to stream Data to @MicrosoftEDU Excel using the Data Streamer add in.

Kindergarten students in Sky are learning to use LEGO WeDo to program their Milo bot to do a series of movements! They loved being creative and discovering the different sequences their groups could come up with!

Glad to see the intelligences honored in a storefront in Manhattan (although a spelling lesson might be helpful as well!)
