Beyond Blocks

Ever wanted to see the legendary ships of Star Wars compared in size... But in LEGO? You're welcome.

@ruth_millington I made a whole business out of playing with LEGO ;-)

Are you an adult still playing with lego? I'm looking to feature your best creations on my blog. DM/email in bio. #LEGO #legoidea2019 #journorequest #AFOL

This term our pre-intermediate students are building some really cool LEGO game controllers and using them to control Scratch games. Check out this steering wheel...

@clubhubuk Loved it!

@beyondblocksuk Thanks sharing! Loved chatting to you ☺️

Did you know I was on Season 3 of the Club Hub Podcast? Catch up with Episode 4 where you'll hear me talk to Tessa Day from @clubhubuk all about my business Beyond Blocks. beyondblocks.co.uk/beyond-blocks-…

@rheecoderobo Well done team!

@DrJoScience @Glazgow @dailystem Take a look at this - this was discontinued a while back but it may be what you're looking for amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Education…

@DrJoScience @Glazgow @dailystem If it were me I'd use the LEGO solar panel ebay.co.uk/itm/2044312063… but these are really hard to get hold of these days

Looking for some advice. We're building wind turbines in class and I want to be able to connect a Lego gear box to a small electrical generator. Has anyone got any experience of doing this that they could share before I spend hours experimenting? Thanks @dailystem

Our Intermediate students built robots to take part in a relay race. I loved hearing them discuss their strategies and making them come to life, including adding sensors to detect the blue line, using a large scoop and more. Brilliant work

Was lovely to be a part of Surbiton Festival again this weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us on the Surbiton Business Community stand. So lovely to hang out with all the amazing local businesses and see so many faces, old and new, all excited by our LEGO models

@Declanlyall @BBCNews Actually all he done was download the instructions from mindcuber.com and follow them from start to finish, downloading the freely available code. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves for not checking their facts as this headline is clickbait

@BBCNews I wonder if you peel two squares of the the cube and swap their positions if the robot would stop at the point it was told or would continue trying to solve the cube I'd suggest all he's done is program the computer to follow a set pattern rather than actually solve it

@DebLaughton @WillWeMakeIt29 @BBCNews But the instructions for this model are freely available online at mindcuber.com. This headline should read "Child completes a LEGO model by following instructions from start to finish".

@WillWeMakeIt29 @BBCNews Maybe the new thing is: a teenager did it all by himself!

@BBCNews Go and check out the original model at mindcuber.com It's great that the BBC want to encourage children to learn programming and engineering but this sort of sensationalist headline is clickbait and not true. Please check your facts

@BBCNews Come on @Bbcnews this is factually completely incorrect. The model that is in this article was designed and distributed for free by @DavidGilday - this is irresponsible reporting as this child will now forever be expected to create impossible things.

We are Beyond proud to announce that our services have now been secured by @OLIprimarysch for the whole year! We can't wait to work even more closely with the school this year, delivering cross-curricular LEGO robotics lessons across the entire school

It's been 6 years since the first EVER Beyond Blocks session, which I taught randomly on a train back from Newcastle! Thanks @raisingrobots for supplying the kit and the training 😊

@rheecoderobo @FLLUK @VEXRoboticsUK These look great!

To mark the first anniversary of rheecode robotics STEM Club - Bianca and Megan baked cookies for the club. Look at how cool they are. They taste great too. @FLLUK @VEXRoboticsUK #vex #fll #highstakes #submerged #preseason

We were interviewed by @vol_kingston about our work with local libraries. Come and volunteer at your local library to deliver Lego robotics clubs!

Double GBC made from 2 Spike Prime kits in class. Great modification of the original structure to accommodate the ball flowing into the opposite module! #LEGO #engineering

Can the dog run free? The children worked on getting the dog to walk in a straight line, but encountered a few problems...
