How it started and how it's going: Cardboard geodesic dome build! Super excited to have started to assemble it this week. It's both cardboard and corflute construction and will be 3.5m across and 2.2m tall. #makerspace

Excited to celebrate my Skill Trees Project making it to 3K stars on Github! Today I also set up Github Sponsors, and if you'd like to support my work on this project so I can dedicate my time more sustainably, there's a range of great rewards. github.com/sjpiper145/M...

Awesome to see this out in the world! Congratulations @sjpiper145.bsky.social !

Today's Awesome Moment in Class: 7/8 Coding class is a mix of advanced students & novices. So we've mapped concepts like loops, variables, functions to Skill Trees (Thank You, Steph Piper). Each class they update their trees to see what they learned. #EduSky #VisualizeLearning #GrowthDataInEdu

My book, Skill Seeker, is now available! I've been working on this for a while and am so excited to finally have it up on Amazon and Booktopia. If you're into Maker hobbies, it's perfect for tracking your growth and goals going into 2025.

Here's the phases I went through in writing and refining my book, Skill Seeker. After many rounds of feedback and hundreds of beta testing copies I have a final result that I'm super proud of. Don't expect you're going to get it right the first time.
