What if Python could be more than a programming language?What if it could also be… an artist? In this beginner-friendly Python screensaver project, I used the Turtle graphics module inside the Trinket IDE to create a program that draws completely random art. Each run is a surprise: Why this project is great for beginners: Latest […]

Learn how to code a Whack-a-Mole Game
🐹⏱️ Think you’re fast enough to beat the clock? I built a Whack-a-Mole game in the Trinket IDE using Python. It’s a timed challenge where you have to whack as many moles as possible before the time runs out. It’s simple and fun. Can you set a new high score? Contact me to find out […]
Decrypt, Send, Unlock: Physical Computing Meets Cryptography with micro:bit
🔐 Oh no… my treasure chest is locked! It’s secured with a micro:bit using an encrypted Caesar Cipher (key = 5). I have to decrypt the code using a Caesar cipher wheel and then send the correct code from another micro:bit to unlock it! Watch how physical computing and cryptography come together to reveal what’s […]
Physical Computing: Let’s Build a Treasure Chest
This pirate’s treasure isn’t buried – it’s coded. Watch how to build a cardboard treasure chest and bring it to life with a micro:bit! Physical computing makes imagination tangible with cardboard, circuits, and code. Skills like these map straight to the real world – engineering, robotics, and creative problem solving.
