🧠 How important is it to understand your computer’s Operating System? It’s FUNDAMENTAL! You don’t need to master it, but you do need to know: the parts exist, what they do, how they connect Follow NoBlackBoxes, we made a 40-min video to show you that it matters.

🧠Do you know of a course (paid or free) that gives a great big-picture introduction to all the key parts of the operating system in this picture, one that’s short, easy to follow, and built for people who don’t already speak Tech? If not… maybe it’s time to join NoBlackBoxes

One of the clearest and funniest explanations I’ve seen. Perfect if you're new to AI or just want to finally understand what your GPU is doing. 🖥️🤖

If you're a behavioural scientist exploring AI, or simply curious to learn more about its role in behavioural research, this is a great seminar to watch. An insightful session on using generative AI in behavioural science. ▶️ lnkd.in/eNvQxvTw

🎉 We wrapped our Tech Bootcamp at the Crick with a robot showcase! Our mission: show that it doesn’t take months to start using technology. In just days, scientists built smart robots, and left ready to create, explore, and innovate. Follow NoBlackBoxes to know more.

It was such a blast to teach at the Crick Institute. It is such an inspiring place not just for scientists, but for anyone! ==================== Insegnare al Crick Institute è stata un’esperienza fantastica. È un luogo che trasmette energia e passione a chiunque!

LESSON 1: Make people curious again! 💡 Kids ask wild questions like, “How does the electricity stay inside the computer without falling?", but as adults we lose tech curiosity. At NoBlackBoxes, we ignite curiosity and make tech intuitive. Follow NoBlackBoxes to know more.

Great teaching starts with this 👉 telling your audience it’s OK to say “I don’t know” and to ask questions. That’s where real learning begins! Lesson 2 from what we have learned at No Black Boxes: creating a culture of curiosity and confidence in tech learning.

🧠 LESSON 3: Let them struggle! Don’t rush to give the answer. Give people time to think and try. That’s when real learning happens. Like muscles, brains grow through challenge. Let them think. Let them fail. That’s teaching. That’s power. Follow NoBlackBoxes to know more.

Yes! 🐟 ZEBRAFISH & 🧠 PAEDIATRIC PAIN! Today I spoke at #ISSP2025 in Glasgow. Watch out for these tiny, social vertebrates 🐟. They're helping us uncover how pain is processed and modulated in the developing brain. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

👇 This is one of the PRINCIPLES I believe in most deeply as an educator. Learning starts when things get uncomfortable! When students wrestle with a challenge and push just past what feels possible. Proud of how we do this at No Black Boxes. 🧠💥

"It starts with a box... What you build from it is totally up to YOU!" There is no better way to make learning more powerful!
