This recording is done directly by Marc Pous, the founder and CEO of the IoT platform thethings.io from Barcelona, Spain. He's got young kids at home that are learning to read - so he's focusing on experiments like conductive dough for example. He's also describing how they are teaching the teachers in Scratch and using the BBC micro:bit.
Here's a full KidsLab Podcast Episode about Conductive Dough: Squishy Circuits with Dr. AnnMarie Thomas!
Background:
At the beginning of this week (March 16th to be exact), it became obvious to me here in Munich, Germany, that the Corona Virus will severely impact our lives. While I was working from home already for more than a week, suddenly the schools closed and our three kids were also at home.
This special episodes are recorded directly by former interviewees and I kept artwork and editing to a minimum to get these out as quickly as possible. I hope that many will find these snippets interesting and will find a helpful resource and tipps in these challenging times!
