Absolutely! I'm working on a proper write up but high level I broke the code up into two parts: 1) Sending text messages from the device 2) Receiving text messages

For sending text messages I have a raspberry pi hooked up to an arcade button and an off the shelf document scanner (you can see it in the last pic). When kiddo pushes the button it takes a picture, uploads to s3 and then sends via Twilio API.

For receiving the text message I have a Lambda script that receives the text message (via Twilio webhook) and it publishes it to a Pubnub channel, the raspberry pi monitors the pubnub channel and prints via thermal printer when a new message is received.

Totally doable! Raspberry pi and YOLO.

We've heard good things about MP public schools so that's disappointing! Did you guys end up going to private?

Thank you!! I don’t remember the prompt tbh, I think it was something like “mobile iOS application icon of a robot and child reading book”

Very cool! What was the process of publishing a book like? I just print my books and glue stick the pages together

Sorry, I was probably not clear, I have some that are on the Twilio blog but I'm wondering where to publish the projects/write ups that are not Twilio related. Currently they are in google docs but they have pics so don't think HN would be the right way to do it.
