It's the summer of 1985. Micke is 10 and sits with his Commodore 64, having just loaded C64-GPT from cassette tape. AI is the new hot thing — now Micke can get tips on good music, films and games, but...
My colleagues and I at RISE usually set up lab spaces for our generative AI courses, workshops and masterclasses so participants can use AI services without fussing with accounts.
This week I guested on Spelfokus to discuss using games as tools in school, sharing examples from Årstaskolan, like project “Sista Bossen,” and how game methodology makes learning easier and more fun.
Carl Heath challenged me to streamline his AI workflow; I built Diane, which records meetings, transcribes with Whisper, summarizes via ChatGPT, and saves to Obsidian. See the demo—follow our journey.
Part two of our AI series for primary school builds a simple voice assistant like Alexa or Siri — when we say “Hej Datamicke” it asks how it can help, and we've taught it to tell the time, perfect to adapt for your lessons!
Grading lead: review 6,500 grades—or do it with one click? A script automates gradebook checks & analysis: saves time & boosts accuracy, flags errors, gives stats & overview incl. nat. tests & abs.
Since 2018 an iPad in my office door window has shown my real-time status — where I am, what I'm doing and what's next; inspired by the old "welcome-busy-come in" signs, it keeps me accessible.
This post shows how to automate tracking and analysis of your work time using your Google Calendar and a Python script, saving you time and frustration while giving real-time stats and visualizations.
Want to track a room's or person's status from a calendar or physical buttons? My project shows if someone is Available (Welcome), Busy (Occupied) or Away (Not Present), driven by calendar events or button presses; a Python script on a Raspberry Pi creates a webpage for screens.
Time for a new project! After finishing my “Upptaget - Vänta - Stigin” box, I'm combining Python, DIY and plants into a self-watering system that doubles as a weather station.
