B1.38/39 - Telling Stories and Making Things - Dan Warner @OhbotRobot
From Ohbot
The title says it really. The story I'll tell will be about how I helped make a robot for primary computing - a humanoid called Ohbot- from an idea born in a pub to a robot that children are using in hundreds of schools to develop computational thinking skills. The making things bit will be me going on about how I think learning through making things, real things and having the chance to play and alter them is a good thing. I haven't yet decided how much talking I'll do and how much I'll hand over to the bot!
