Dear Claudette,

( https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudette-muller-930a1913 )

Great to communicate with you in South Africa from the SF Bay Area via Twitter earlier today. Thanks too for posting your inspiring teaching of Lego WeDo 2.0 robotics to 3-6 graders at the Redhill School in the Johannesburg area. Interesting too to see that you've studied related questions for your Ph.D.

I couldn't find your email address online (searching on claudette muller email info@redhill.co.za Redhill School Johannesburg Area, South Africa), so I'm developing this communication in a blog post, which I hope to share on Twitter too.


Here are some recent Tweets from a Tweeting-conversation we just had ...

Am curious how we might develop some of these questions and explore such Lego robotics with Scratch and even brain wave headsets via Google group video Hangouts.

Best regards,
Scott
