One of our 3D printers is broken. These students are fixing it. Could I fix it? Yeah. But are these kids learning through fixing it AND gaining ownership in the classroom and the 3D printer? Also yes. @fusestudio @IowaSTEM @SC_Iowa_STEM @wccampus
“Randi, you like our music?” Students, I do not care. Is trap music blasting? Yup. Is 100% of the class working collaboratively and getting a lab done? Yup. Are they all getting along? Yup. How many kids have left the class for ‘all the reasons?’ None. This is a class success.

STEM challenge: design a device that keeps your hand at body temperature as it is submerged in icy waters for 5 min. Homeostasis. Be like a walrus. – at West Des Moines, IA
WCC Chicken Hatching Livestream. We highly anticipate this activity brought by the anatomy students each spring. These chicks are due on Monday, April 8th! 🐣🐥youtube.com/watch?v=HnTJoSqW… – at West Des Moines, IA
Even teachers still learn. Attended a class from the @ISUExtension in Dallas County learning how to graft apple trees. 🍎 🌳 my mom was better than me, and I definitely had help on both trees from the instructor! Haha! – at Adel, IA
I am tired. In the best way. From making bread through yeast fermentation, 🫀dissection, Newton Egg cars, and preparing for our plant sale, this teacher is tired. Engaging students in meaningful learning is hard work. – at West Des Moines, IA
Bird beaks created by our @GetTeacherGeek kit! Too cold to go outside, so the food got sprinkled all over the floor! Ha! Natural selection and STEM wrapped into one lab. – at West Des Moines, IA
I was out of school for the past three school days and with subs, I know most students are not going to do much. But this kid just blew me away with what they got done! Connecting both our current standard with our next unit! 🤯 – at West Des Moines, IA
