Coding, creativity, and collaboration all in one space! We love seeing our Dallas ISD libraries introduce students to hands-on STEM learning through activities like Ozobots, where students can build problem-solving and coding skills in engaging, interactive ways. Thank you for sharing, @ElemMacon. @DISDLibDirector @DrElenaSHill @Dallasacademics @TransformDISD @NicoleWBixby @dallasschools @DHLibraryStax #DallasISDLibraries

Way to go STEM Fellows!
Tonight we celebrated Cohorts 1 & 2 of the STEM Fellowship National Certification Program for STEM Education! 🧪 This fellowship is designed to support educators in advancing their knowledge of the science and technology application standards as well as support STEM cross curricular implementation. Each fellow received a certificate and had the opportunity to present an interactive showcase of their work. Fellows who have successfully completed the program also received their white science coat! Kudos to all of our hard-working teachers! 🙌🏽 @TransformDISD @disdstemscience @Dallasacademics

Our Dallas ISD libraries help students learn what it means to be upstanders — using their voice, showing courage, and making thoughtful choices that support others. Through meaningful partnerships and engaging learning experiences, our libraries connect students to stories, history, and real-world lessons that inspire reflection and growth. Thank you for sharing, @KSosa95927552 & thank you for supporting our Dallas ISD students with meaningful activities, @dhhrm_org @DISDLibDirector @NicoleWBixby @DrElenaSHill @TransformDISD @Dallasacademics @dallasschools #DallasISDLibraries
2nd Grade had a fabulous time learning about Upstanders with shadow puppets from the Dallas Holocaust Museum, connecting them to their own experiences and learning how to be upstanders themselves. #margaretbhenderson @dallasisd @DISD_Libraries @DISDLibDirector
