Circle Packing
Welcome to an exploration of algorithmic art. In this Digital Skill, students will use Scratch to create an abstract piece of art that is created by code. We call this algorithmic art since your art piece will be created by an algorithm - or a set of rules. For instance can you create a Circle Packing algorithm in Scratch such that a series of circles randomly appear but never touch or overlap?
Students will want to check out our Circle Packing sample here - feel free to remix it and make it your own.

Cercles Enchâssés
Bienvenue à une exploration d'art algorithmique. Dans cette compétence numérique, utilisez Scratch pour créer une œuvre d'art abstraite à partir d'un code. Cette technique s'appelle de l'art algorithmique, car votre œuvre d'art est créée par un algorithme - ou un ensemble de règles. Pouvez-vous créer un algorithme dans Scratch de telle sorte qu'une série de cercles apparaissent aléatoirement mais ne se touchent ou ne se chevauchent jamais?
Consulter notre exemple de "Cercles Enchâssés” ici - n'hésitez pas à le remixer et à vous l'approprier.

Brilliance in the Making: Author Katey Howes
If you are a maker educator, we know you are going to appreciate this conversation. In this episode, Jacob chats with children’s book author, Katey Howes. Katey joined us last week for a read aloud of her book “Be A Maker.” While publisher restrictions will not permit us to keep that read aloud active past June 30th, 2020, we wanted to capture her dedication to maker empowerment in another way. Over the next 36 minutes, Katey and Jacob discuss the role of empathy, collaboration and community in making. Ok - they actually talk about much more including a brief dialogue where they ponder the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in humanity’s drive to collaborate.
Here at Brilliant Labs, we are thrilled to find guests who are as passionate about making and intrigued about the pedagogical implications born from that maker journey. We hope you have a listen and share in this conversation via twitter or any of our other social media feeds.
We encourage you to take the time to pick up Katey’s book “Be A Maker,” and leave her a review letting her know what you think of her book. During the podcast, Katey also discusses a couple of her sources of inspiration that you may want to check out - those are linked below.

Go outside and create your own code-able game with chalk. Create a grid, perhaps 6X6 or any size of your choice. Choose a few squares as your spray zones. One person is a robot and the other is the programmer. The programmer instructs the robot on how to get to a coloured (spray zone) square. If successful, then the programmer gets to spray the robot.
Sortez et créez votre propre jeu cod-able à la craie. Créez une grille, peut-être 6X6 ou de la taille de votre choix. Choisissez quelques carrés comme zones de pulvérisation. Une personne est un robot et l'autre est le programmeur. Le programmeur indique au robot comment se rendre à un carré de couleur (zone de pulvérisation). S'il réussit, le programmeur peut alors pulvériser le robot.

Become a Global Citizen Scientist with NASA
Become a global Citizen Scientist! Make your own local environmental observations, in particular cloud cover, that can compliment NASA satellite observations. Why are clouds important? How can we help monitor cloud conditions? In this digital skill, we will use the Globe Observer App to help answer these questions and become a Citizen Scientist.
Join the GLOBE observer App community to help collect scientific data for NASA, students and other scientists worldwide.
