11/13/2018. This week in the iNEST maker club, the girls continued their work with the MicroBit programming platform, branching out from the rock-paper-scissors program that everyone started with last week to work with some of the dozens of projects available at https://makecode.microbit.org/. For example, one pair had fun creating a squishy circuits "keyboard" out of fruit that generated a tone when touched. Another pair created a wristband with scrolling LED messages. If our "student showcase" proposal is accepted for the upcoming NC-TIES state technology conference, some of the girls will be exhibiting their computer programs and Microbits at the conference. The club this week welcomed Eleanor Hasse, the grant's external evaluator, who observed and visited with some of the girls to find out more about their programming projects. The club will be taking a one-week hiatus next week for Thanksgiving, and then back on November 27th to continue work with Microbit.
