I love this idea. One of the hardest parts of teaching kids to lean coding is giving them a reason to do it. With the led's and bluetooth there will be plenty of fun projects to do. I've been helping out at our local code club and

I never went to University, but took my daughter for her interview at a large UK institution this week. I watched the students wander from lectures to the gym and coffee shop then to halls of residence all within strolling distance. Made me

I'm not looking for an excuse not to cycle, I'm a pretty fit cyclist and spend at least 10 hours a week on a bike. I'm saying that holding this up as an example that others can follow isn't ideal as they have a big natur
