Makerspace Club involved a lot of measurement today. Our student used a ruler and digital calipers to create an accurate drawing of a broken part of his project. He is going to see if he can fabricate a new one! @NYCSchools @NYCPSD14 @Makerspaces_com @council_14

Today in our garden club @Magnet157 one of our students said “this smell reminds me of my home country”. Love this time every Friday. We are preparing herbs with hopes of having a farmers market soon, may have sampled a cucumber too 😜. @NYCSD14 @District14Supt @GrowNYC #garden

Ms. Peterson and some our students spend their breakfast together tinkering in MakerSpace. Today between 7:30 and 8:00am he assembled a Microbit robot, and used the training guide to program it with a basic, block-based steering program. #STEMeducation @NYCSD14

Today was “Makerspace Maintenance Day” for the fourth grade. We decided to make the shelving a little safer. Every partnership made their own decisions, choosing colors and methods of attachment. @NYCSD14 @District14Supt #makerspace #STEMeducation

Over a year of planning and anticipation was totally worth how excited students are learning to care for and nurture our chickens. Here they are getting to know “Cardi Beak”. @NYCSchools @NYCGreenThumb @GrowNYC @District14Supt @Magnet157 @NYCSD14 #urbangardens #learninggarden

What a beautiful day for us to open our new picnic/storytelling area in our already gorgeous and thriving native garden. 3K students were so excited to sit on the grass in the sun for story time. @NYCDOED14 @NYCSchools @NYCGreenThumb @NatureBasedNY

One of our 3rd graders built and programmed a robot in our Makerspace and wanted to share his work with our Principal @kourtneyboyd. Great things are happening here @Magnet157! @BKNorthNYCDOE @NYCDOED14 @MrFullerDOE
