Am I the only one to go into hibernation mode in January? I fell like everyone is working out and eating healthy and I’m under a duvet snacking leftover Christmas chocolate.

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation just launched micro:bit #CreateAI 🎉! microbit.org/ai/. I love it for playful, physical & creative learning about ML. Use movement data to train/test a model, then use that model in #MakeCode to make an AI thing! Mad excited to see what people make! #microbit

The logic of Queens
Queens is a simple logic puzzle LinkedIn uses to draw you back daily. Doing daily puzzles is good both for mental health and to build logical thinking skills. Its mainly about pattern matching skills rather than logic though!

Today I submitted my masters dissertation of original research into students beliefs about computing education with generative AI.
I thought I’d feel relieved that it was complete but I feel really anxious like a child has left home. Is this normal?
