If you came to the #iste22 virtual session @ALStrawhacker and I just finished on #ComputationalExpression and you are now excited to try #KIBO visit booth 2827 if you're at the conference in person! #ISTELive22 #ISTE #coding #robotics #earlyed #computationalthinking
Come play with the #KIBOrobot at #ISTELive22 in booth #2827 or at this session with the researchers behind KIBO! You won't want to miss it! They will share how easy it is to bring computational thinking and expression to the littles! conference.iste.org/2022/pro…

If you want a great example of a community org that invites youth and citizens into bioengineering, you have to check out BioJam Their new article in @ISSUESinST explores how they are breaking down barriers to science engagement and bringing more inclusion into biotech!
The mission of @biojamcamp is to reenvision the future of bioengineering and biodesign—and, in the process, reframe who is a scientist and what science can be. @eco_genome, Rolando Perez, & @CorinneTakara explain:issues.org/biojam/

White supremacist parents on Indiana are trying to take over #publicschools "Bans teaching the Nazis were of low moral character" "District curriculum will be determined by a committee of 60% parents...with no requirement that any teachers are on the committee"
Oh hell no.
Thank you Jay Silverman and @New_TV for hosting me on your #InnovationShowcase TV show! What an honor to be invited to share recent findings from my research with on #biodesign and #ethics in early #childhood with the CRISPEE tool! Episode recording: vimeo.com/652544498
