    Technologists respond with related retro computing education projects

    David Chisnall replied discussing the University of Kent's custom circuit board platform resembling a Game Boy, used to teach programming with MicroPython and enable students to build 2D games and explore algorithmic performance.

    “One of the coolest things I've seen recently is the platform that the University of Kent uses to teach programming. It's a little circuit board that looks like a gameboy, complete with LCD and buttons, powered by a microcontroller.”

      One of the coolest things I’ve seen recently is the platform that the University of Kent uses to teach programming. It’s a little circuit board that looks like a gameboy, complete with LCD and buttons, powered by a microcontroller. They start people off with MicroPython and can teach core programming concepts as well as things like 2D graphics…
