Issue #325 - How’s THIS for computational thinking
Howdy,
We found some *great* builds by our community this week and featured a few of them on the blog.
Remember, we’re hosting live coding session for young people every Wednesday at 2pm BST, so they can keep the digital making going even in the school holidays.
In our research seminar this week, we heard about the importance of computational thinking and how María Zapata Cáceres from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid has developed a CT test for children as young as 5.
Peace,
Ashley
