[Microbit-Python] Potentially Interesting Talk at The National Museum of Computing

[Nevil Hunt]

Hi Andrew, et al,


The National Museum of Computing have just posted the first video from last Thursday's micro:bit day at the museum


Showing micro:bits were David Whale from the Foundation (@whaleygeek on Twitter)

Thomas Stratford showing Simon Says and the 'MegaBit' (@MrTomsWorld on Twitter)

and myself showing zbit:connect (@ZbitConnect on Twitter)


The Video is Introduced by Bill Thompson - BBC Make it Digital
The Video was shot by David Allen - BBC Producer of the 1980's Digital Literacy Programs and who specified and commissioned the original BBC Micro !

He managed to capture some of the excitement of the children in seeing the micro:bit, particularly the girl at the end!

Nevil

Hi Andrew,


Yes, it was a fascinating talk. And the good news is that it was recorded by TNMOC and their Tweet earlier today says that it will be posted in YouTube.


Cheers,


Nevil

Hi all,

I stumbled across this talk by Bill Thompson the other day. It covers the 'challenges and successes' of the micro:bit project and looks really interesting (to me at least), but I'm over 300 miles away, so cannot attend. The cost is around £15.

Event     Bill Thompson - BBC Make it Digital: Challenges and Successes
Venue     The National Museum of Computing, Milton Keynes
Date     Thu 16 Feb 2017 at 6:00PM
Section     General

If anyone does go, do let me know how it was. There was a similar talk several months ago, and I emailed TNMOC to ask if they would be able to record the talk and upload the recording. I never got a response, and so I assumed that this would not be possible, but if anyone does decide to go, and would be able to record the talk (even audio would be fine) that would be amazing. Or, if Mr Thompson uses slides, ask him to upload them / share them.

Kind regards and happy micro:bit-ing...
Andrew
