In the past two decades, three forces for good came into the world. #TeachMeet 2006; #Coderdojo 2011; the #Turtlestitch community 2015. In Tilburg, Netherlands this weekend, all three intersected during #Turtlestitch10 at the Hostel Roots cellar bar ... #HopePunk
@xota is Britt Möricke already on your radar?

Tomorrow I’ll do a #turtlestitch workshop at [tbd]Probably Not A Camp. Feels like modern computer anarchism meets 80s culture of my youth https://hetgroeneveld.amsterdam/event/tbd-probably-notacamp-2-2/

time to celebrate ten years of turtlestitch together
My friend Joek von Montfort rang yesterday from the Netherlands, a quick call to check something for a conference he is organising in July. In Tilburg. To celebrate ten years of #Turtlestitch. Ten years since Andrea Mayr-Stalder amazed us all at the Scratch Conference in Amsterdam with her demonstations of stitching designs on an embroidery machine which had been coded on a computer using a Logo / Snap!
On my way to #LocHal to make a promotional video with embroidery machine to get children of all ages interested in one of our 15 workshops #turtlestitch at fest TurtleStitch.org/ten this summer.
We had a fantastic time at the #ResonateFestival of Arts at #UniOfWarwick running the StitchInTime activity! Children used @turtlestitch to create designs. Thank you to WMG colleagues for running the activity.

Huge congratulations to Brian Harvey and Dan Garcia on receiving the 2024 ACM Service Award!
Together with Jens Mönig @moenig they laid the foundation for Snap!, the visual programming language that powers TurtleStitch. Their work has enabled creative coding and learning experiences around the world—and we’re proud to build on it!
Thank you!

A German, an American, and a Catalan walk into a university, and ... deliver a cracking keynote to a packed auditorium.
Compelling theme of evolution of coding (spirals, funnels) from Logo via Smalltalk & Scratch & Microblocks & Snap! & Turtlestitch. And a ukulele rock solo to boot

Yesterday I attended #BarCampLondon for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many interesting sessions, creating patterns using p5.js, Savannahhq.com looking at the health of online communities and lots more.
I gave a presentation on #OpenSource #Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch
Our #TurtleStitch resources are available here: https://www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch
On the second day of #OggCamp2024 @kianryan and @CatRyan returned for further adventures.
@CatRyan caught a great talk about #inkstitch and #turtlestitch by Prof Margaret Low.
@kianryan gave a lightening talk on the Frankenender.
We've had a wonderful weekend at OggCamp24. Met lots of interesting people, watched and participated in many talks and demos. We're really looking forward to next year!
It was great fun attending #snapshot24 and catching up with @jadga @moenig @SnapCloud and #turtlestitch crew.
I shared From Pattern to Code resources, short videos to give ideas for patterns in @turtlestitch
