This gallery item shows classroom notes and source code from a history of personal computers course, focusing on the Apple II. The examples include BASIC programs for graphics and a text adventure game, and assembly code using the mini-assembler. The visualization is a mix of markdown files and raw source code, highlighting the computational methods used on that platform.

README.md – MicroBit Tutor AI (MicroPython + micro:bit V2)

This gallery example shows an educational prompt and tutor system for teaching MicroPython to high school students using a BBC micro:bit V2. It presents a research activity where students investigate Python fundamentals, including `print()`, basic syntax, and the REPL, then compares standard Python with MicroPython code examples like `display.scroll()`. The material includes a 100-point grading rubric and describes a “Shell de Apoyo” support mode that breaks down errors with line-by-line explanations. The content is organized as a bilingual Markdown document with embedded images, aimed at guiding beginners from zero programming knowledge to hands-on microcontroller projects.

Conociendo 8 bit computer.

This Vue-based educational tool simulates Troy’s 8-bit breadboard computer, showing the full fetch-decode-execute cycle through an integrated assembler and debugger. The emulator interface renders live register values (Ra, Rb, PC, Acc), processor flags (C, Z, N, O), and memory contents, updating step-by-step as users execute assembly instructions. The code uses the Vue framework to bind UI controls like Run, Step, and Reset to the emulator’s internal clock and ALU operations, while the assembler translates labeled source into binary machine code. Data flows from the assembly source through parsing and address resolution into the simulated CPU state, visualized as a schematic of the physical breadboard layout.

Scratch

This example showcases the Scratch visual programming environment, highlighting its role in fostering computational thinking through interactive games, animations, and educational projects. It curates a collection of Scratch projects, ranging from classic games like Asteroids and Pacman to custom experiments such as a recursive Fibonacci generator. The visualization also introduces complementary block-based programming platforms, including Blockly, BioBlocks, and NetsBlox. The underlying data is presented as a static HTML page with embedded links and images, using no dynamic JavaScript libraries for rendering, relying instead on standard Markdown and HTML for its layout.

Gist e30b580e1eb3c9e76102ba926ac0e85a

This example shows a complete GitHub Classroom activity template in Spanish, guiding students through designing a small thematic practice project using ARM64 Assembly, Bash, Python, or C. It emphasizes documentation-first development, with a structured repository of Markdown templates for proposal, use case, repository structure, and test plans, plus a shell script and source stub. The visualization relies on plain text file rendering via the web interface, illustrating how to scaffold a minimal, well-documented coding assignment without external frameworks or complex dependencies. The code uses no external libraries, focusing instead on repository organization and pedagogical instructions.

Gist 3db23ae2b492f204b7dbde1886f8224c

This visualization presents a collection of 45 practical exercises for the micro:bit V2, a microcontroller, designed for educational and prototyping purposes. The dataset is a markdown list of activities, each detailing a project that uses sensors for data acquisition and radio communication for transmission. The projects span categories like sports, classroom, environmental science, and STEM, showing how the physical device can be used to graph data. The text shows the projects are intended for graphing events and for creating a radio transmitter between micro:bits to acquire or transmit data, with no code or libraries used in the rendering.

Gist 626d64298c79f4cc42c6382ca71d1680

This example presents a structured guide for using NotebookLM, branded as "NotebookML," in a first-semester high school setting. It outlines pedagogical strategies, recommended resource types, and seven categories of classroom activities, including automatic quizzes and step-by-step tutoring. The visualization includes specific prompt templates for students, such as "explain this as if I were 12," and proposes three complete practical exercises integrating mathematics, cultural digital topics, and Micro:bit programming. The content is organized with emojis and a clear hierarchical structure, relying on the Markdown format for its presentation.

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

This example visualizes the iconic Commodore BASIC one-liner "10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10" by rendering a maze-like pattern of diagonal slashes and backslashes. It shows how a single line of code generates complex, emergent visual texture. The visualization uses a grid of characters, likely rendered via a canvas or SVG, where each cell randomly selects between the two slash characters using a pseudo-random function. The code leverages the browser’s Math.random() for the stochastic element, and the rendering approach mirrors the original program’s output, with no external data source beyond the algorithm itself.

Gist 5abc1045894890074dba47be30e4c098

This visualization presents a structured classroom activity focused on data confidentiality and professional ethics for TICS students, displayed as a markdown-based instructional document. The example embeds a single high-resolution educational image and details a 50-minute lesson plan with interactive exercises, including role-playing scenarios and decision-making polls. It does not use JavaScript libraries or rendering APIs; instead, it relies on static HTML content and a self-contained markdown file with embedded images to convey the pedagogical workflow. The visual emphasizes clear textual organization and step-by-step guidance rather than dynamic data-driven graphics.
