Got to do a collab between my sixth graders and the first graders at my school. As always, @microbit_edu & @birdbraintech helped bring this project to life.
We’re working on creating r/c vehicles right now, and we’re at the early stages of the first drafts being completed. I am loving how much they’ve enjoyed this assignment so far! @microbit_edu@birdbraintech
We’ve been studying Newton’s Laws of Motion and Potential Energy vs Kinetic Energy in class. We decided to cap it off with an epic version of the classic egg drop challenge. Best part was having the students apply everything we’ve been talking about in class to this activity.
Bothered to get our micro:bits out? Ours stay out! These kids used it to create a trap door for their comic strip story involving cheer tryouts #STEM#STEMeducation#microbit#code
🫣Still wondering if you can be bothered to get out those micro:bits? We get it. You're busy. They are in a cupboard nowhere near your classroom. ☝️BUT! Watch what happens when kids' code works & displays an output for them to see. We never tire of the MAGIC🪄

Update on the student’s animatronic eye. Their comic strip is visible in the video. Connecting ELA with STEM was definitely a good choice 👍🏼 #stem#STEMeducation#education#3Dprinting
My Ss are creating comic strips and one of the story blocks has to be 3D with a moving part. So they asked to 3D print a blinking eye 👁 kinda creepy, but we have animatronics in class 🤣🤷♂️😎 they coded the servo themselves #STEM#STEMeducation#code
Students made their own books and coded their pages to make them come alive! Their books matched our Math and Science night theme of “We’re mad about science” with mad scientists!
One of my favorite things that we’ve done at FSE is starting a student podcast. Ss came to me with the idea & I wanted to see it become a reality. Now we’re in season 2 & it’s looking great so far 😊 #studentvoice#podcast#stemyoutu.be/UW3a4eyLyRE
I got to document my 6th graders at the @Livingston_PPS STEAM Expo. They had a great time exploring all of the STEM/STEAM opportunities within our school district. The future is bright for Livingston ❤️ #stem#STEMeducation#educator#Filmmaking
