Kids made cool dancers this afternoon during my 'Creative with code and LEGO' workshop in Leiden.

#LEGO Wobblebots, powered by the #microbit

I went to three schools in Delft to make wobblebots. You can see some cool ones made by kids in this YouTube video:

Having fun with #LEGO rubber band cars 😀

Kids made some cool tilt-activated LEDs today. I decided not to use a paper towel roll, like I showed in an earlier tweet, but to use a piece of wood instead. Worked pretty well, although getting the tilt switch to reliably connect with the tape in the circuit can be a challenge.

🖍️Looking for a fun simple project for kids who are new to the #microbit ? They can turn a few pieces of LEGO and a geekservo into a simple drawing machine that's easy to code with MakeCode for the micro:bit.

Looking for a way to display numbers like 22, 55 and 73 on the #microbit screen without scrolling?

You can add the WhaleySans Font extension to your Microsoft MakeCode projects, an idea from David Whale (micro:bit wizard).

#Lego wobblebots powered by the #microbit

Made by kids during one of my Creative with tech workshops at a school in Delft.

Zondag te zien op het TECH-festival in het Museon: mijn waarzeggers, kietelrobotjes, happende monsters, dansers, nee-bots, skaters, tekenrobot, basketbalspel, draak, mini-zonnestelsel en meer. Allemaal gemaakt met #LEGO , servomotortjes en de #microbit .

🤖 Funny #microbit robot performing some tasks 🤖

The LEGO figure behind the handlebar is made by Thijs and Otis during one of my micro:bit/LEGO workshops.

I'm using the Wukong board of ELECFREAKS for four servomotors and the Game controller of Kitronik as remote control.

💡Tilt-activated LED💡

Turning a paper towel roll into a tilt lamp turns out to be pretty easy with a cheap tilt switch (SW-520D) and woven conductive tape of pimoroni.

I hope kids aged 6 to 11 will be able to make this. Maybe I need to help the young ones with the battery.

#microbit wobblebots

I finally found a way to make these funny creatures with a large group of kids. (My wooden version wasn't reusable and the LEGO Spike hub is too expensive.)

#LEGO frames and #geekservos don't always align correctly, but here it works fine using two gears.

LEGO 4-pole #microbit switch.

Inspired by the switch in the FLL Masterpiece Explore set. Building instructions can be found here:
lego.com/cdn/product-as… You have to modify it a little bit and add woven conductive tape to turn it into a switch.

Looking for something silly and simple to teach kids and teens how to code a 270 degrees position servo with a #microbit ? Then you might like this idea⬇️

Some highlights of 31 'Creative with code and LEGO'-workshops for kids👩‍💻👨‍💻.

And oh boy, do kids get creative when you give them interesting prompts, #LEGO , a #microbit , some #geekservos , a servo board and some conductive tape... True LEGO Masters 👏

#microbit #LEGO plotter

Making a simple plotter with the new LEGO worm gear (part 73763) and two 270 degrees geek servos turns out to be possible. I really enjoyed making this 😄 I can even write the first letter of my name with it...

#microbit #LEGO MAZE

Inspired by LEGO 40596 (Magic maze) and mazes made by Kevin and Hugo who joined my maze workshop in the spring.

By pressing A on the micro:bit you open the 'brigde', ABBA is the secret code for the gate and music plays when you close the circuit at the end.
