ScratchPals

What a wonderful round of ScratchPals! In #ExtendingHands, lots of connecting via video call & collaborating via peer feedback in @scratch. Thanks to all participants & to ScratchPals Ambassadors: @cindy_hundley @clauperfecto @EricJBentley @HalougiL @MichelleSwenss1 @Revangel 🧡

🆘 CAN YOU HELP?! Please share! Are you a parent/carer, school or organisation that works with young people with physical disabilities? We are working with @Google and @MSMakeCode to improve the accessibility of block-based programming. We're seeking young people in London, aged 8 - 14, who rely on keyboards or assistive technology to access a computer to help us in our research. We are offering £30 as a ‘thank you’ for individuals who take part. Interested in taking part? Please send an email to paul.robinson@microbit.org expressing your interest

🆘 Urgent! We have three translation projects for microbit.org which are all translated and once they are proofread, we can release them - so even more young people can learn to code in their own language. We specifically need proofreaders for Irish, Malay and Italian. If you can help, or know someone who could - please do get in touch! microbit.org/translate/ #translation #accessibility #csforall #microbit #translators

A great team 🥰 I've miss you @kathleenfugle and @cindy_hundley !

Emojiscope! It was only a matter of time after playing with mirrors and coding on the phone😁 There are lots of ways to tinker with kaleidoscopes. Adding animation & motion is my favorite now and it's super easy with the #OctoStudio app. #Kaleidoscope @OctoStudioApp #tinkering
