A special shout-out and thank you to the bright students at Lyndhurst STEM Club for Girls who found this post (originally written in 2015) and contacted me to revise it today in 2022! The students were asked to look for new fun and educational STEM related games and activities that could be shared with the class, and I’ve included a great link they found for fun emoji coding and tech games!
