At this point in the semester my CircuitPython students move from the Circuit Playground Bluefruit to the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W. This lesson explains how to make the move at a similar point for anyone following along our course playlist: youtu.be/RPI10l3vCWk?...

When I ran a BC program that finished with a week field study in Ghana, I would always bring the class to the MIT Africa Innovate Conference. It’s a spectacular event. There is also a gala. www.eventbrite.com/e/mit-sloan-...

Waveforms this Thursday 6-10pm at the Paramount in Boston. Looks great. I've got a class so will miss it, but MASARY is the collective behind SOLSTICE in Mt. Auburn each year, so this should be wonderful.

Light flurries and 27°F heading to work after noon here in Boston. I’m definitely a lover of four seasons and glad winter is like winter this year.

Lots of coverage of CA win in redistricting challenge. It was in response to a deliberately biased TX redistricting. We need more outcry to ban all gerrymandering, not simply celebrate short term win that manipulation is balanced with manipulation. Gerrymandering is bad for democracy.

Middle child screams. There is a bat in the hallway. Mayhem ensues. I managed to wrangle it into the home lab before gently coaxing it on a houseplant that I shook out the window. I will name him Nandor.
