Children's Day Show and Tell
summary
Kids build working demos in about an hour and a half: a two‑player Turtle race triggered by micro:bit radio shakes, a selfie that converts into blocks inside Minecraft Pi, a snowman spawner (failed install but concept done), a 12‑sided dice, a speech synthesizer reciting Poe, student‑composed melodies on MicroPython, and live music from Sonic Pi. An eight‑year‑old renders the PyCon logo in wool in ~30 minutes; most projects run despite frequent live‑demo hiccups.
