Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream


The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.

This animated movie tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.

An Open Educational Resource that inspires children to tinker and create technology.

TROM II: Values and The Kindergarden

I don't really have principles.
I'm always ready to understand someone else's point of view even if I completely disagree with it.
The one thing I will never, ever accept is children suffering. Any children.
I don't care about their race, their religion, their nationality or if their parents are the worst murderers on the planet... in my book all children deserve to be protected (born children, for any Republicans lost on Masto who happens to read this).
Now I guess you have a pretty good idea what I think of a government that not only starve children to death when they have the choice NOT to do it but even push the indecency to publicly state they have no problem with it.

You don't have to be a mathematician, or even "good" at #maths, to help your #children learn maths. You just have to model resilience and positivity towards what they're doing, and to avoid reinforcing negative tropes.
A #thread:


Here's a short interview about attempts to stop the DataFarms pulling the next generation into social media addiction while they're still kids. Echoes of the strategies the tobacco industry used to generate future customers for cigarettes.

@HernanLG There’s a good guide about #children and screens. (In French though.) : https://www.3-6-9-12.org/les-balises-3-6-9-12/


Every year, I think the same few things about #EarthHour:
  • How many #children will be conceived while the lights are out?
  • We turn off everything… OK, cool. Now let's ask beverages sellers to stop selling their liquids in #plastic bottles, and let's ask airlines to stop flying planes for a day.
  • How long more will mankind prefer palliatives over solving the real problems?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Todos los años pienso las mismas cosas sobre la #HoraDelPlaneta:
  • ¿A cuántos #niños concebirán mientras las luces están apagadas?
  • Apagamos todo… OK, genial. Ahora pidámosle a quienes venden bebidas que dejen de venderlas en botellas de #plástico y pidámosle a las aerolíneas que dejen de volar sus aviones por un día.
  • ¿Cuánto tiempo más hasta que la humanidad deje de preferir paliativos a resolver los verdaderos problemas?
