  1. genius @scratch tip from @ericrosenbizzle - using the Text tool when creating a new sprite means you can use emojis as costumes #ScratchEurope
  2. Saw this in a shop. Good to see the police tackling child bakers. They're a menace that need to be stamped out.

  3. I wrote a book! dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=4277 (yes, yes, I know I've tweeted about this before, but I'm excited so bear with me... and I haven't tweeted about what's in the book before - so that's new 😜)
  4. I’m running a competition to give away copies of my book, Machine Learning for Kids. To enter, you just need to send me an idea for something on @MLforKids that would teach kids about AI/ML. The five best ideas will each win a book. Details at dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=4362

  5. Faith and I made a new game: voice-powered laser eyes 😁 Two ML models in this one - speech recognition to activate the lasers, and face detection to aim them!
  6. A Python workshop being given by a 12 year old. She is genuinely inspiring. #LondonRaspberryJam

  7. Do you have opinions on how GCSE Computer Science students should be assessed for their programming ability? There is a consultation open at gov.uk/government/consultations/future-assessment-arrangements-for-gcse-computer-science If nothing else, it's an interesting read.
  8. The next feature coming to @MLforKids is going to be letting students train sound recognition ML models, and use them in #Scratch with scripts that fire when a sound is heard. For a quick look at the current prototype, watch youtu.be/nuNATCTqGHg

  9. A free family tech event on 8th June - at Microsoft's offices in London. Lots of fun things to try and learn. (I hear there will even be an artificial intelligence workshop 😉) eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-all-london-raspberry-pi-jam-summer-2019-tickets-61965236691
  10. "Girls Who Change the World" is a challenge being run by @IBM_UK_news @MarvelUK and @STEMLearningUK - to help kids learn about AI by coming up with ideas for how it could change the world for the better. Find out more at girlswhochangetheworld.org.uk #CaptainMarvel
  11. Come and visit IBM Hursley and see what we do at IBM's biggest R&D site in the UK - for more info, and to register for your free ticket, have a look at ibm.com/blogs/think/uk-en/festival-of-innovation-2019/
  12. so... this is going to be a thing 😱 amazon.co.uk/dp/1718500564
  13. I've written a new @MLforKids project about phishing - students train a machine learning model that can predict if a URL is for a phishing site or a legitimate site. machinelearningforkids.co.uk/worksheets

  14. This is a fun family hack. They used @MLforKids to train an @IBMWatson image recognition classifier to recognise duckweed, and loaded that onto a @Raspberry_Pi in a homemade floating vacuum cleaner. It powers up the vacuum when it sees duckweed. So cool! youtu.be/59KP8VCT8kI?t=155

  15. Just added a new @MLforKids worksheet to the site. Train two different image classifiers, then give them both a Rorschach test and compare the answers they give.
  16. I've written a new @MLforKids worksheet The project is an AI-powered traffic camera game you make in @scratch, where you have to train a #machinelearning model to recognise if there are passengers in the car. dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=4953
  17. I finally have a copy! 🥳

  18. For #ScratchDay my percussion-obsessed children made a drum kit with @scratch and @makeymakey Because that makes a nice change from their normal weekend of playing drums at home 🤷‍♂️
  19. …in reply to @dalelane
    Some of the families made their own virtual Alexa in @scratch that can understand commands to turn things on and off #LonPiJam
  20. Thanks so much to everyone for all the kind comments on this - I'm feeling very proud and a little overwhelmed @StephenWarwick2/1123899719187611648
  21. setting up a Windows 10 machine so I can do some work on it. I've never used Windows Subsystem for Linux before... it's really a beautiful, elegant thing 😍
  22. fun afternoon at IBM Hursley to hear what has been learned from the archaeological dig on the lawn this summer

  23. New Year, New Job - starting today as "Chief Architect, IBM Event Integration" 🎉
  24. the view from the roof garden at our new office is amazing. I still love Hursley but this is a fun change of pace
