So excited to talk about curiosity with my favorite co-presenter! Come join us at 2pm, or just sign up for the recording ;)
I hope some of you will join @ALStrawhacker and me today at 2pm Eastern for this #edWebinar on the importance of supporting curiosity in early childhood education! #EarlyChildhoodEducation
Still riding high from the amazing presentations and discussions RE: positionality, agency, the Matrix, bio-making, and critical #STEAM ed research at the LAST #AERA23 poster session!! Thank you so much for collaborating @ZHassenfeld & @JusticeToshiba!!
Deeply grateful to discussants @DrTRMorton and @microtwinge for your insights, and for AMAZING posters from @MiaSShaw @biophilebytes @_bgravel_ @etuckray @mco_soy_yo @admillner @thispettypace @utepceo’s Alan Barrera, Michael Johnson, Amanda Barany, Sayer Reza, & Omar Badreddin
And of course..thrilled beyond measure to be able to share about my new STEAM Coordinator position and learning community @SSDSBoston 🙏🏻❤️ it’s such a joy to love my job and be able to share about it with likeminded thinkers and change makers
So excited to be a part of this conversation to share equitable science teaching tips, and hear from Dr. Amanda Cardarelli about her research on inclusive language in early childhood science classes!

Excited to share this @CapstonePub blog post that I co-authored with @AASully on playing with science to grow children's natural #curiosity!
Maybe you'll get some fun ideas for #BacktoSchool2022 ...?

What a great way to start the day, with inspiring fellow #educators and #researchers talking about @KinderLabRobot and @ScratchJr!! I learned so much from participants!
Don't forget to enter the book raffle if you attended the session, we would love to gift your free book :)
Thank you to the amazing participants at #ISTE22 who made the #ComputationalExpression Creation Lab such a rich conversation!
@ALStrawhacker @AASully & @AUnahalekhaka are excited to connect with you about bringing playful coding into PreK-2nd!

If you came to the #iste22 virtual session @ALStrawhacker and I just finished on #ComputationalExpression and you are now excited to try #KIBO visit booth 2827 if you're at the conference in person! #ISTELive22 #ISTE #coding #robotics #earlyed #computationalthinking
Come play with the #KIBOrobot at #ISTELive22 in booth #2827 or at this session with the researchers behind KIBO! You won't want to miss it! They will share how easy it is to bring computational thinking and expression to the littles! conference.iste.org/2022/pro…
If you want a great example of a community org that invites youth and citizens into bioengineering, you have to check out BioJam
Their new article in @ISSUESinST explores how they are breaking down barriers to science engagement and bringing more inclusion into biotech!
The mission of @biojamcamp is to reenvision the future of bioengineering and biodesign—and, in the process, reframe who is a scientist and what science can be. @eco_genome, Rolando Perez, & @CorinneTakara explain:issues.org/biojam/
