Head of the children's department Jessica Laroque introduces us to the Ozobot skills kit - an easy way to kids or adults to learn some basic coding.

In this episode, I spoke with Innovation Coach Jessica Holloway, all about her role supporting teachers with PBL, STEM education, and EdTech integration. You'll hear Jessica share valuable advice for educators interested in taking on a similar coaching role. She emphasizes the importance of embracing risk, stepping out of your comfort zone, and adopting the role of a lead learner.

This is a long article, but a wonderful story. It includes a nice emphasis at all times to keep a language simple enough for the absolute beginner but powerful enough to not be annoying for experienced developers. A few quotes from the article: “Ease of learning and ease of use are both desirable attributes in any programming language. Nonetheless, I have often felt that this aspect of language design does not always receive the attention it deserves. And what may seem easy to a designer may not necessarily be easy for a language learner.” Regarding ABC: “To serve our intended users, absolute beginners, we sought to hide low-level implementation details and instead to provide powerful high-level, task-oriented features. Then Python: “The growth in popularity of Python, from its inception thirty years ago as a one-person effort flying under the radar, has been phenomenal, but not meteoric. Instead it has been a long, slow, and steady rise. Python's ease of learning gave it a competitive advantage in a period when there was a perpetual need for more programmers. Its clean syntax and semantics make it easier to maintain a software base written in Python than other languages—an important consideration given that the cost of maintaining software dwarfs the cost of creating new software.” Kelly #3: Ozobot Evo Introduces a Python Beta Version. (August 17, 2022) The original Ozobot model – the Ozobot Bit – is no longer available for purchase . The New Evo Ozobit- has three Kit options.

Release scheduled for Oct 2023 But why wait? Start testing your projects with it now: Testing with Python 3.12 Note that “During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2023-05-08) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2023-07-31).

How can a programmer help put out a blazing wildfire? Steve talks to longtime friend and programmer Leo Lutz about unconventional creativity and what happens when you pair non-conventional thinking with an open approach to problem-solving. (Hint: you get culture-shifting ideas.) Leo Lutz is cofounder of Deytah, a digital consultancy focused on helping small businesses and nonprofits solve problems related to user experience, development, and data solutions. Leo has a knack for teaching and creative problem-solving but also a love for audio. In fact, Leo and Steve used to do live sound together for Don't Call Us Tori, a live music showcase that Steve co-founded with musician Shannon Hurley. (And did you know, Leo's company Deytah built the I Create Sound website?) In this episode, Steve and Leo discuss the uniqueness of possessing a N+P pairing on the MBTI and reflect on how their Myers–Briggs personality types intersect with their work. Steve asks Leo to explain what programming IS, and Leo addresses the notion that coders sometimes lack creativity. They also discuss The Magic Castle, mixing audio in church, and pedagogy (teaching).  Subscribe to the podcast and look for part 2 with Leo Lutz!   Guest: Leo Lutz Deytah - Creative Digital Consultancy Instagram: @only1skeemer   Matrik SEE (Requires Google Login) Automators.academy   Episode References: Colorado Search and Rescue Tick Fire - Wikipedia   Jungian Cognitive Functions MBTI Personality Types Myers–Briggs Type Indicator - Wikipedia Don't Call Us Tori iReady The Magic Castle - Wikipedia A2 (theater) - Wikipedia Jellyfish Lake - Wikipedia   HTML (programming language) - Mozilla PHP (programming language) - Wikipedia   Language of Creativity's host Steven Leavitt enjoys discussing the ins and outs of all aspects of creating, creativity, and life with his fellow creators, artists, inventors, designers, and producers.

Techstination interview: Little robots with big ambitions: Ozobot Founder & CEO Nader Hamda

If your GPS suddenly stopped working, would you still be able to find your way? In this episode we'll teach you tricks and tips to navigate on your own. We'll explain how compasses work and we'll tell you who helped move north to the top of the map. Plus, we'll meet a navigator who goes on long journeys using only traditional Hawaiian navigational techniques and we'll stop by a pitstop for some amazing animal migrators. All that and a Moment of Um on why diamonds are so rare and so valuable. Today’s episode is sponsored by KiwiCo (kiwico.com/brainson), Little Passports (littlepassports.com/brains), Bombas (bombas.com/brains), and Ozobot (ozobot.com/shop).

We treat dogs like they're part of the family. But do they know they are a different species, or do they think they're just short, four-legged people? In this episode, canine cognition researcher Alexandra Horowitz helps us puzzle out this question. We’ll also find out what happens (or doesn’t) when a dog looks in the mirror. Dogs are always dozing, and we’ll check in to see if they are dreaming too. And, we take a quick trip around the world in the language of barks. All that, plus a brand new Mystery Sound and moon-filled Moment of Um! Today’s episode is sponsored by Ozobot (ozobot.com/brains), KiwiCo (kiwico.com/brainson), and the book Horse Meets Dog. You can support Brains On with a contribution at brainson.org/donate

Today information is everywhere, but what should you trust? Can you spot the difference between well researched articles and stories full of opinion, errors or even lies? In our final chapter of “Prove It: How to find the facts,” we’ll find out how to think like a fact checker. Plus we’ll share clues on how to spot warning signs of bogus information. We also look into the claim that coffee stunts your growth and for our Moment of Um we explore the world of freckles.

Science is a powerful fact-finding tool -- but how does it work? In this second installment in our series "Prove It: How to find the facts," we look to the past for answers. We find out how a snake heart helped get rid of an old idea about blood and how failed experiments are just as important as successful ones (bye bye, luminiferous ether). And we'll hear from scientists working today about how curiosity is at the heart of science. All this plus a new Mystery Sound and snail-rific Moment of Um.

How can you possibly improve on something that's seriously cool--and cute? Ozobot® makes it look very easy.  Introduced in 2014 as the world's smallest programmable robot, it was designed to teach kids how to code. At CES® 2018, in Las Vegas on Tuesday Ozobot® Marketing Project Manager and Producer Morgan Andersen explained what's new with this one-inch-tall innovation--and what's coming next! Ozobot®, which first appeared at CES® 2014, is a multiple award-winner.  Among its honors are the 2015 CES® Editors' Choice Award, and the 2015 Kids At Play Interactive (KAPi) award. And for CES® 2018, it was back, with a game that proved highly addictive! Also, as with any fun innovation, this is simply the latest chapter.  Morgan says we can expect a lot more from Ozobot® in the future!   Would you like to be a part of the Ozoblockly community which Morgan mentioned from the show floor of CES® 2018?  Here's the link for more information.  (They have classroom lesson plans and a Facebook connection to share your projects!)
