I loved the energy in the Create‑a‑Critter workshop at #FosdemJunior #fosdem Children explored @turtlestitch.bsky.social coding and decorated a colourful range of imaginative critters (with a little help from their parents). @fosdem.org

Heading to #FOSDEM this weekend? I’ll be giving a talk about neural networks in Snap! on Sunday in the Educational Devroom and hang out with kids and teachers at @fosdem Jr.: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... Don’t hesitate to approach me to chat about Snap!, blocks programming or the state of CSEd!

Look, Ma: The latest issue of @acm.org INROADS Magazine features an interview with me. It’s open-access, so you can read up on my incoherent blabberings and old-dude anecdotes about block based programming & friends.

Another incredible use of this tutorial is classifying 25 notes on a piano. Using a 450-50-26 model (I include a backgrounds sample), the results are mind-boggling!! In the list I show the note and how many times out of 331 samples it is predicted. My testing method is in the video. Next I need 1/2

I’ve been quite excited this past 10 days as I have been able to get this working for me to classify sounds astoundingly accurately. I only want to be able to do any three sounds to work with young children, however I’ve tried 26 classes and it still works flawlessly! Thanks for all you do!
