Kano Club was launched to help you make, learn, and play with the latest technology! Due to the coronavirus outbreak they have opened Kano Club to everyone. This site has so many cool activities that will teach all about computer programming while having fun at the same time! My favorite activity is the “Fight Coronavirus with creativity” section. Especially part 3, where you get to take a deep dive into a social distancing simulator! Make sure you to checkout the link below. Really cool stuff! Good job @Kano! . . . https://world.kano.me

The Girls Who Code organization is doing an awesome campaign during this quarantine. They are releasing an at-home activity for kids to do every week! Each activity features a women in tech and talks about how they have made an impact on the world through technology. In the activity that I’ll be sharing today we’ll go over binary numbers and make a bracelet with your very own phrase on it. Did I mention the words will be written in binary code?! Pretty cool! @girlswhocode ・・・ Link to activity: https://girlswhocode.com/code-at-home/ 👕: https://www.stem-effect.com/store 📺: https://youtu.be/gQM8bSt8RSE ・・・

Did you know you can make your Sphero into a Magic 8-ball? Grab nearly any Sphero robot, run the program, and shake the robot. This program uses the accelerometer threshold to call a condition that will generate a random number from 1-20, which correlates to random answers just like a Magic 8-Ball. In this video we utilize a couple fundamentals of computer programming including “loops” and “if” statements. Check it out and see what your Magic 8-ball tells you! @Sphero . . .

Use Sphero’s location data to calculate the area of circle! In this video we will go over a simple coding program that tells the Sphero to drive around in a circle. After that, we can use the sensors in the Sphero to calculate what the total area is.
