Use your coding and engineering skills to design a foolproof security system to protect your hoard of treasure.
Learn how to program a BBC micro:bit in Python to use pressure-sensors, motion detection, flashing lights and sound effects, and construct a cunning programme that will sound the alarm if activated by sneaky thieves! Get creative with cardboard and electronics, and design a super-secure safe for your treasure hoard.
I run coding/computing/technology/making workshops at Science Oxford, an education charity, working with young people, family groups, teachers & adults.
I'm definitely not a Python expert, but I love teaching it as it's an extremely accessible programming language!
Outside of work, my main obsessions are tea, fighting robots, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Hi!
I am a Software Engineer at the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, where I get to help enable the next generation to create with technology.
I love working at the intersection between the physical and the digital world, and to explore the technologies that converge on this territory.
