A little cardboard box turned into a class lesson on physical computing with @makeymakey & @scratch with green screen commercials using @DoInkTweets and a whole lot of nostalgia because I'm old @mrmartinEDU @gravescolleen @Makerspaces_com @LFlemingEDU @mraspinall @vickiemorgado1

I'm not on Twitter often anymore, but I decided to share the #hourofcode2024 booklet with educators. I hope this helps with some unplugged and technology resources to get your Ss coding. @dsbn #coding #STEM docs.google.com/presentation…

I'm pretty pumped to be seeing some of my summer projects coming to fruition. The @Forward__EDU teams did an amazing job making these initial lessons of mine even better than I expected!! I also love that a bit of my messy workbench made it into a picture!! #STEM #coding

A great final #STEM lesson in creating wind powered simple machines with @HeximerDSBN The students had so much fun while learning. These two vids truly show the STEM version of "Instagram Vs. Reality" #science #windy @dsbn

We had a blast at the Rube Goldberg STEM Expo today! A huge thank you to @thekylekitchen and @dsbn for hosting an inspiring showcase and celebration of creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. We also learned how to use a Microbit to launch our machine!

How do you showcase 120 fourth graders who built amazing machines and then learned how to code Micro:Bit servo marble launchers on the spot, with no experience! Amazing engineers here at @dsbn Congrats to all and thanks to the @RubeGoldberg Institute for being a part of it!

We are ready @dsbn!! Micro:Bits and building materials ready for 150 students and teachers to show off their @RubeGoldberg machines that they've been building for months, then learn how to code & build automatic servo marble launchers. #DSBNSTEMexpoPART2 @microbit_edu

This year's #EarthDay2024 theme is Earth Vs. Plastics but let's plan beyond one day. Trying to reduce single-use plastics and packing EcoBricks. Look at the before and after of 1.5 pounds of plastics. It's time to rethink our relationship with plastics. ecobricks.org

Alright Micro:Bit friends, my last geek-out regarding the #SolarEclipse2024 Posting the Solar Farm data where all 6 Micro:Bits used the radio to send all their light data to one data hub. Click the link for a copy for your Ss! @microbit_edu @dsbn #STEM docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

The Micro:Bit data from the #Eclipse2024 is in! Click on the link below for free access to data from multiple Micro:bits on light and temperature to analyze. Great post-eclipse #STEM #math #educational lesson with your students. @dsbn @microbit_edu docs.google.com/document/d/1…

A cloudy #Eclipse2024 but still captured some very cool #STEM opportunities! @microbit_edu data flowing in, but this sudden appearance of turkey vultures who kept staying ahead of the darkness was crazy too! #edchat #edutwitter

It may be a cloudy #Eclipse2024 for the Great Lakes but I'm still going to be logging data with @microbit_edu I created a Micro:bit data farm to track light and temperature every minute of the eclipse & every 10 seconds during totality. Will post results! @dsbn #coding #STEM

..and always double-check your code before posting to social media that doesn't allow you to edit!!

What a day for young scientists in @dsbn. Nearly 400 students and 60 teachers showed their prowess in the scientific process and engineering design as they presented inquiries, built mechanical solutions, used skilled trades and created design media. #STEM
