Introduce young people to coding with our updated projects
A year ago we launched our Introduction to Scratch path of six new coding projects. This was the first path to use our new 3…2…1…Make! approach for prioritising fun and engagement whilst enabling creators to make the things that matter to them. Creators learn how to add code, costumes, and sounds to sprites as they make animations, a game, an app, and a book.

Sophy Wong interview: Meet the queen of wearable tech
One of the coolest people on the wearable side of the maker community is Sophy Wong – she’s so cool that we have a book all about her wearable tech. You’ll often find her at cons showing off her amazing cosplays and 3D-printed fabric. However, it wasn’t until college for graphic design that she started making.

Cornell University’s Digital Systems Design course is taught on RP2040
Lab work is central to this practical course. Students design digital systems using the RP2040-based Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller. Working in small groups, they design, debug, and construct different systems. It’s a Cumulative Design Experience (CDE) course, building on things learnt in the previous lecture to help you in the next one. Students employ their skills in coding, digital signal processing, analog circuits, control theory, computer graphics, robotics, and neural modelling.
