"Check out this Python Turtle program I made that randomly moves a turtle in different directions and colors! 🐢🎨

I used the Python Turtle module to create a turtle object and defined functions to generate a random angle, distance, and color. Then, I used a for loop to make the turtle move in random directions and change colors 100 times.

If you want to try it out yourself, you can download Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/) and use the built-in Turtle module to create your own turtle programs.

The Turtle module provides an easy and fun way to learn programming concepts like loops, functions, and conditionals.
Turtle module documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html)

Check out the code I used in this video on GitHub: [https://github.com/raimoncoding/Gina_the-turtle]

Thanks for watching! Don't forget to like and subscribe for more programming videos. 😊"

As promised, here is a read-through of Dandelion.
I sure hope you enjoy it and if you could please share this so more young readers can also see Dandelion as well.

When Dandelion blooms in a beautiful garden, she discovers flowers are picked and taken home. Hopeful to be a selected flower, she beams with pride until Pansy informs her that she is a weed.

And that weeds are not meant to be in a garden.

Will Dandelion ever be picked?

Hello STEM Teachers,

Classroom Activity Videos - Hot off the press!!!

40 x STEM activity videos, each mapped to the Australian/Vic curriculum.

They are seriously cute! Very entertaining! And presented by two talented teachers.

Check them out 👉https://www.youtube.com/@PrimaryAndSTEM

All FREE. Part of a Swinburne Uni and Invergowrie Foundation STEM project initiative.

Each video has a detailed lesson plan (available at https://primaryandstem.online - under the 'Resources' menu)

It's been fun to be part of this project - to bring the lesson plan pdf resources to life, and build out the website :) The videos are filmed by my talented friend - DM me if you need talented videography for your education projects :)

After the very limited #STEMambassador options available during lockdown, it was fantastic to get back into it at full speed last year. As a result, I now have my "50 hours of engagement" badge for last year's volunteering with them!

You should all go and become an STEM Ambassador - it's awesome, and only takes a commitment of one session per year!

What an awesome privilege to have been involved with the Peter Doherty Science Awards last night at the @Ballarat Tech School. Young and budding researchers from schools in our region making us very proud for their and our futures :-)

At @Committee for Ballarat we're proud and privileged to be able to sponsor such an incredibly important event.

Well done to the team from Ballarat High School taking out top honours :-) #stemeducation #stemlearning
