Imagine you had a bus that you were going to convert into a mobile STEM #makerspace to travel around North West Primary #schools and provide FREE hands on #STEM sessions for children and FREE #CPD for #teachers. What equipment and activities would you want to see on the bus?

This is why you shouldn’t feel guilty about letting your child play video games.🎮 My latest research at @sheffielduni has shown that digital play can actually be good for children’s well-being. Here are three reasons your child may benefit from playing video games. 🧵 1/5

Following the launch this week of our global project into how video games offer benefits to children’s well-being, with @LEGO_Group and @UNICEF, the full Sheffield report is now available for download. Find it here from @EducationSheff: shef.ac/3UD9LXn

@Emily_Baughan @_FionaScott @BBCWomansHour Thank you Emily, I look forward to catching up with the interview. We were very sorry to hear of the death of Kay Benbow, she was such an exceptional and talented individual and one of the nicest/ kindest people I have ever met. @_FionaScott

So sorry to learn of the death of Kay Benbow, an exceptional and lovely individual who led @CBeebiesHQ into new, exciting areas. She was given an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Sheffield in 2017 in recognition of her outstanding achievements in children's media❤️

750 children have participated in our mobile makerspace this week for @ScienceWeekUK Our wonderful volunteers this week are Professor Anna Beresin, visiting from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Emeritus Professor Jackie Marsh & our very own Kat 🥰 @EducationSheff

Sheffield Central is my home. I arrived in Broomhall as a refugee fleeing a civil war. It was this city that gave me sanctuary and it was this constituency that raised me. I'm Abdi Suleiman and with your help I will be the next MP for Sheffield Central.

It is great that Disney are releasing a version of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey. In the research we undertook with @LegoFoundation on children, technology and play, we noted that there was a lack of diversity in media products for children: learningthroughplay.com/explore-the-re…
