Sarah Townson
I run coding/computing/technology/making workshops at Science Oxford, an education charity, working with young people, family groups, community groups and teachers.
I'm 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.
Sessions
Program a model satellite using a BBC micro:bit - you will send data to 'ground control' to identify any problems with your satellite - is it receiving enough energy from the sun or do you need to conserve power? Does it need a course correction?
Interested in running outreach workshops, educational activities or beginner challenges? In this session we will:
- discuss what makes a good workshop for your audience
- share ideas on theming activities
- have a go at a workshop designed for 9-14 year-olds, using a BBC micro:bit to 'code a satellite'
