Flutter Dev’s Post

Run this code to see the Turtle graphics window displaying a colorful spiral pattern with changing hues. You can experiment with different parameters to customize the appearance of the spiral. #exploreTheMagicOfCode #pythoncoding #pythonIsFun

This features some great info on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and is one of the coolest graphics I have ever seen: (https://lnkd.in/gpnY7uS4)

We're introducing a feature preview of Artifacts on claude.ai. This is in addition to the launch of Claude 3.5 Sonnet—our most intelligent model yet. You can now ask Claude to generate docs, code, mermaid diagrams, vector graphics, or even simple games. Artifacts appear in a dedicated window next to your chat, letting you see, iterate, and build on your creations in real-time. We look forward to seeing what you create with Claude: https://claude.ai

Anthropic announced a new version of Claude and a feature called Artifacts that creates things you ask it to (e.g. web pages, games, and more). I’m excited to play with it over the next few days and test its capabilities. What should I ask it to do? #Claude #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #Anthropic

Artifacts is the most interesting feature that has been developed in the last few months.

Join Maren & Me on June 20th for a really fun Scratch in Practice interactive webinar on Experiencing Creative Learning! We'll be focusing on playful learning, computational concepts, paper planes and turtle graphics with Scratch. Dr. Jarvis, Maren and spent many thoughtful hours designing this. These are all topics very close to my heart and align strongly to some of the most fundamental and important concepts in learning. Below is an excerpt from Seymour Papert's gears of my childhood essay where i first started to learn more about computational thinking. (https://lnkd.in/gYgMmkNr) "First, I remember that no one told me to learn about differential gears. Second, I remember that there was feeling, love, as well as understanding in my relationship with gears. Third, I remember that my first encounter with them was in my second year. If any “scientific” educational psychologist had tried to “measure” the effects of this encounter, he would probably have failed. It had profound consequences but, I conjecture, only very many years later. A “pre and post-” test at age two would have missed them. Piaget’s work gave me a new framework for looking at the gears of my childhood. The gear can be used to illustrate many powerful “advanced” mathematical ideas, such as groups or relative motion. But it does more than this. As well as connecting with the formal knowledge of mathematics, it also connects with the “body knowledge,” the sensorimotor schemata of a child. You can be the gear, you can understand how it turns by projecting yourself into its place and turning with it. It is this double relationship–both abstract and sensory–that gives the gear the power to carry powerful mathematics into the mind. In a terminology I shall develop in later chapters, the gear acts here as a transitional object. A modern-day Montessori might propose, if convinced by my story, to create a gear set for children. Thus, every child might have the experience I had. But to hope for this would be to miss the essence of the story. I fell in love with the gears. This is something that cannot be reduced to purely “cognitive” terms. Something very personal happened, and one cannot assume that it would be repeated for other children in exactly the same form. My thesis could be summarized as: What the gears cannot do the computer might. The computer is the Proteus of machines. Its essence is its universality, its power to simulate. Because it can take on a thousand forms and can serve a thousand functions, it can appeal to a thousand tastes. This book is the result of my own attempts over the past decade to turn computers into instruments flexible enough so that many children can each create for themselves something like what the gears were for me." #Scratch #CreativeLearning #ComputerScience #Education #Teaching #Learning
