Parallax Robotics/Blockly Course

erco

I enjoyed observing the afternoon portion of Andy & Stephanie Lindsay's Educator's Course today near LAX. They practically came to my house, they were so close! It was amazing to watch these two in action, they really know people and they obviously know the material. Also fabulous watching the capacity crowd of teacher attendees in action. Remarkably smooth assembly of ActivityBot 360s, and their excitement was contagious. Several teachers from nearby Firestone have been using BASIC Stamps in high school classes, and had engaging stories and videos of custom student robots in action. They could clearly see the benefit of the multicore Propeller. I learned that Parallax sells an upgrade kit for Boebot with 360 servos and an Propeller Activity Board WX.

Note: Andy pulled this up in class and said "We ought to be charging more for that..." You've been warned!

Really nice afternoon. Made me proud to be associated with such a dedicated company. Bravo Parallax, Stephanie & Andy!

COOL, wait, just 16 seconds?

where is the rest?

are there any links to BlocklyProp Seminars online, if so where, if not why not?

Good question! I asked Andy about that. No seminar videos yet. He says some are planned, but the format and material is changing. For instance, this one day seminar used to be two days. They are distilling the process. Like fine moonshine, it cannot be rushed!
