Super excited about the new tools and techniques I'm learning about with @chibitronics & @InfyFoundation to inspire even more STEM creativity in our students @powhatanms! For my weekend homework, I made an animated storyline for The Watsons Go To Birmingham. Hey, @elateacher212!

Thankfully the wildfire haze cleared enough to let 🌞 through for our solar cars! What a great week of STEM with these fantastic elementary teachers.

Working with a fabulous group of elementary teachers this week as we explore ways to integrate STEM in their curriculum! @BrownDogGadgets sent free samples, and the teachers made #SolarBugs, designed adaptations for them, and created triorama habitats to showcase their designs.

I'm having a great time with middle schoolers exploring robotics in summer camp!

I received a few free samples from @GetTeacherGeek and loved them enough to buy some sets for my lab. This week, we tried out their #RubberBandRacers to help review forces, motion, energy, and experimental design. These 8th graders had a great time innovating! @powhatanms

Exploring symmetry, balance, beauty, and strength in structures with @KEVAplanks . And having fun taking them down! @powhatanms @SheilaF63386927

3D Storm Safety Models with 6th grade science! @powhatanms

Thanks for stopping by, @tomohundro !

It was delightful to see the joy these two experienced in building (and destroying!) their @KEVAplanks ball run! @SheilaF63386927 @powhatanms

Dragons, haunted houses, and crazy hair! Spent the past two days helping students illustrate their reading books!

First...I posted this yesterday and the tweet disappeared! Second, thanks for making me cry a little at work, @smplydori ! 💚💚💚 #STEMsisters

Had a great time presenting our @powhatanms Innovation Lab program at #EdTechRVA2023 with @GRAETCorg today!

Got to work with the whole 6th grade (>300 lovely students and their English teachers) creating X-games events for their unit on figurative language. See the swooshing skis slide swiftly down the snowy slope! #alliteration @MrsBrownLASS5 @powhatanms

Tried out paper circuit blocks with @SheilaF63386927 and her 7th graders this week. So much fun and engagement while problem solving and exploring circuits!! @powhatanms @BrownDogGadgets

Excited to share our program @powhatanms with other educators!

Paper Cup-Bots were perfect for today's STEMtastic Crafts Club! @powhatanms @BrownDogGadgets

Finished up our 1:200 scale models of ancient monuments--what a great project! @civicsnerd @powhatanms #crosscurricular

Introducing a group of 6th graders to @birdbraintech #hummingbirdkit as they design robots to solve student identified problems. Always exciting to watch them collaborate and teach themselves and each other! #innovate #STEMacrossthecurriculum @powhatanms

Started a new World History project with @civicsnerd. 3D models of ancient monuments built from cardboard and craft materials on a 1:200 scale. Fascinating to see the students work through the process. #Innovate #STEMacrossthecurriculum @powhatanms

Spent a fun week with 6th graders as they designed, built, and tested rubber band propeller cars! @powhatanms
