This week, I rebuilt the website for a little book series that I’m writing. I started this iteration with the goal of making the site as energy-efficient as possible. It was fun (and humbling) to see how much simpler I could make the site. I dropped WordPress in favor of a minimalist static site that I optimized by hand.
The books’ content will live in an interactive environment that runs entirely in the reader’s browser – no application server required. JupyterLite supports real-time collaboration, so I’m excited to explore these capabilities when I teach the material at local summer camps.
Thanks for sharing @creative3d_render
I like Tinkercad too)
Are you using Codeblocks there? It is fun)
This is my simple project on using Codeblocks in Tinkercad which was then converted to gif by Tinkercad)
Thank you so much for sharing @mcintyre ! It is so useful! A summer camp is a great idea. Moreover, supporting real-time collaboration is very important for online study. I would like to share it with my students. Good luck in creating!
Makey Makey is really fun! I have had experience playing with them only once at a summer camp for teachers. It was a few years ago but I have remembered it very well. We created a carton guitar which was sounding with Makey Makey. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo from that time)
I totally agree with you about they don’t want to do something “wrong.” When I just wanted to discuss friendly something with my university students - I have realized that they do not answer because afraid to say something wrong. I try to explain them that learning through mistakes is a good way of learning)))
Nice! I also like Tinkercad. Even with Codeblocks you are experimenting with a simple and creative way of programming. This is the little chair that I have built with different materials … https://www.tinkercad.com/codeblocks/bWhtYzzalDu
Hi @OLVL , I love your design in Tinkercad . Yes, I used the Codeblocks, but I like to design my own shapes, I transferred my design to another software for rendering
I’ve been tinkering with p5.js and here’s something I’ve done these past days, a growing family of LCL pegs…
The music is a beautiful version of Frère Jacques by youtuber/musician David Bennett (check the whole thing here), which has a somewhat naive thing to it, but I really love…
The tinkering process was refreshing: I always like the feeling of dealing with a new environment, getting all those bugs and being blocked by your own lack of knowledge of it. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do, but not a clue of how to do it. Frankly, all those push() & pop() got me a little crazy…
Actually, the music and the visual changes were intended to me more or less in sync, but I really don’t know why they aren’t, and I got to the point of I’m-not-going-to-solve-this-in-this-sitting…
Anyway, I’d love to explore this tool more in the future, it’s been haunting me for a while and I really liked it
I’m so excited by your creativity Paco! Great project! I want to try too) There are so many things waiting for me to try Once upon a time I’ll do all of them
