Podcasts about cubelets

Do you have kids? Maybe nieces and nephews? Or maybe you work in a school environment? Maybe it's just friend's who know you're a programmer and ask about how they should go about introducing programming concepts with them. Anna-Lena Popkes is back on the show to share her research on when and how to teach kids programming. We spend the second half of the episode talking about concrete apps and toys you might consider for each age group. Plus, some of these things are fun for adults too. ;) Episode sponsors WorkOS Talk Python Courses Links from the show Anna-Lena: alpopkes.com Magical universe repo: github.com Machine learning basics repo: github.com PyData recording "when and how to start coding with kids": youtube.com Robots and devices Bee Bot: terrapinlogo.com Cubelets: modrobotics.com BBC Microbit: microbit.org RaspberryPi: raspberrypi.com Adafruit Qualia ESP32 for CircuitPython: adafruit.com Zumi: robolink.com Board games Think Fun Robot Turtles Board Game: amazon.com Visual programming: Scratch Jr.: scratchjr.org Scratch: scratch.org Blocky: google.com Microbit's Make Code: microbit.org Code Club: codeclubworld.org Textual programming Code Combat: codecombat.com Hedy: hedycode.com Anvil: anvil.works Coding classes / summer camps (US) Portland Community College Summer Teen Program: pcc.edu Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com Episode transcripts: talkpython.fm --- Stay in touch with us --- Subscribe to us on YouTube: youtube.com Follow Talk Python on Mastodon: talkpython Follow Michael on Mastodon: mkennedy

This week Tommy and Adam talk to the founder and CEO of Modular Robotics, the company that created the wonderful STEM toy Cubelets—little blocks that you snap together to create a robot!

Jeff sits down with Eric Schweikardt of Modular Robotics to talk about STEM education in today's classrooms. Learn how your students can learn programming skills through Modular Robotics interlocking Cubelets to create amazing robotic projects. About Modular RoboticsModular Robotics is home to more than 50 people who design, engineer and manufacture tiny robots. Every day, we work to build robot construction systems for kids because we believe that toys shape the way children think about the world. Our goal is to create remarkable fun play experiences that impart an intuitive understanding of complex systems and design thinking. Our team is comprised of engineers, software developers production specialists and operators.

He develops concurrent and distributed physical systems with the intention of understanding more about the natural world through model-building. He designed and built roBlocks, a modular robotic construction kit, and is working on evolutionary algorithms for automated design. Eric finished his PhD in Computational Design in 2008 from Carnegie Mellon University, and is now a visiting scientist at the Cornell Computational Synthesis Laboratory in Ithaca, New York. He studied architecture at the University of Colorado at Boulder and returned there to teach digital modeling and animation. He founded the Allegory Design Group, a web development studio specializing in 3D user interfaces, and worked as a consultant creating architectural renderings and animation for Michael Tavel Architects, Hobbs Design, Wolff Lyon Architects and DKahn Studio. Eric's undergraduate research was concerned with pen-based interfaces and the apparent divide between sketching and design development in architecture. This work resulted in Digital Clay, a program that interprets a designer's isometric (3D) sketches as digital models. Eric has presented work at conferences on Human Computer Interaction (ICMI, TEI), Computer-Aided Design (ACADIA), and Intelligent Toys (DIGITAL).

Will and Kevin discuss a few casual decks and how they faired against one another. Then they discuss cubelets, and how they enjoyed initial testing on this awesome two-player format! Check us out!

The train to Denver International Airport starts next week, but a long-waited train to Boulder and Longmont, called the B Line, is years from completion. Then, band Leader Glenn Miller and songstress Lannie Garrett are among this year’s inductees to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. And, blocks called Cubelets are self-contained robots designed to teach kids creativity.

Snowshoe Hare Faces Uncertain Future (start time 6:35). They don’t get much cuter than bunnies. One of the cutest of them all is the snowshoe hare. It’s elusive, and well camouflaged, so you may well never have seen one. To survive, these hares change their coats with the seasons – white in the snowy winter and rusty brown in the summer.  So  now, some hares’ fur turns white before the snow covers the ground. Think what it’d be like to be naked in public, an easy meal for eagles and other predators.  Whether these fragile hares can evolve and adapt to their changing homes fast enough is a question some biologists are studying hard.  Hillary Rosner, a local science journalist and author, wrote about the plight of the snowshoe hare in the current issue of High Country News and now talks with How on Earth's Susan Moran. Cubelets Robotics (start time 15:00) is an award-winning modular robotics kit created and made in Boulder. The concept is simple:  you take these magnetic blocks and snap them together to make an endless variety of robots with no programming and no wires. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.  To find out more, How on Earth's Shelley Schlender talks with Modular Robotics Design Director, Eric Schweikardt.
