Tech and Trauma
Jade mutinies and unseats the captain for an episode. Pat is off eating birthday cake somewhere. Declan Meenagh drops in as a guest with DigiCoach updates and stories of teaching blind kids to code in Python. Jackie’s mystery toy is finally revealed, Ken gives us WhatsApp PTSD. And we all confess what piece of tech scares us the most.
Declan’s Coding Corner
Vision Code teaches 11–17 year olds Python on the BBC micro:bit. A major highlight is the seven-board radio instrument they made where shaking one board transmitted a note to all the others.
