Aerospace in Middle School
Middle schoolers still believe the sky isn’t the limit. Rocketry teaches more than flight—it’s physics, grit, and ambition. Give them the launch pad now, while they still dream big.

Real Tools = Real Growth
Stop handing kids toy versions. Give them real tools. A musical keyboard, a stylus, a DSLR. Show them they’re trusted. Watch them explore, build, create, and believe.

iPad Musical Keyboard Apple Pencil
An iPad becomes a studio when you add a keyboard or Apple Pencil. Music. Art. Ideas. Kids want to create when the tools respond to them. Curiosity takes over. And that’s when magic happens.

DSLR Cameras in Middle School
Give a middle schooler a DSLR and watch what happens. Their back straightens. Focus sharpens. They rise. Real tools tell them: You’re smart enough. You’ve got this. Trust builds confidence. Confidence unlocks creativity.

My student just had the most delightful experience teaching 1st graders how to draw on an iPad! It's amazing to see how quickly they adapt to new technology and express their creativity. Proud to be part of their learning journey. #teaching #edtech #creativity #1stgrade

My first children’s tech book is now on Amazon. #edtech amazon.com/gp/product/098514… It’s all about A.I. so that kids can understand the new world around them.

I challenge my students to design something “useful.” This student designed a fishing lure and is now patiently waiting the 14 minutes for it to print. @acsabudhabi #edtech #3Dprinting

Katherine Johnson’s math put men on the moon. I did a painting of her as a 9 year old (Disney style) so my students could relate with her. #bhm @acsabudhabi

Wow! I just added two of the most amazing episodes to the ACS Podcasting Network. Just search Spotify, iTunes, or Google Podcasts. Look for the ones from Ashdon and Millie. Enjoy. @acsabudhabi
