Another great example of a quick sketch and (paper) prototype from one of our Cardboard Carnival Teams in #hawksmakerspace. Super simple prototype build. Doesn't have to be fancy, just show what it will look like. Love it!

So proud of this team and their dedication to research embedded within the Engineering Design Process. #STEM @PADeptofEd @DiscoverEorg @WarwickPR #FutureCity
The kids from Warwick Middle School, Pennsylvania blew me away with their winning model of a future Sydney incl clean energy, water and transport: 3-time winners of the international Future City STEM comp, well deserved. Maybe we can persuade them to take on Brisbane next?

One lucky group of 4th grade #coders were given the opportunity to beta test an exciting new feature in @kodable today. They were super psyched to build and debug their own games and offer feedback to the “actual company! This is the best day ever!” @MCDoeRun @PADeptofEd

This week third grade students have been using @Ozobot to explore our solar system. Students have worked together to show the order of the planets in our solar system and how they orbit around the sun. #Clear4Takeoff #ozobot #STEM #solarsystem

Budding #structuralengineers researched different types of bridges and then designed their own. How many coins can you fit on your bridge before it collapses? @carlyandadam @MCDoeRun #STEM
