"Our schools and teachers prompt us to build our own mental map of the world. Where we can connect ideas and knowledge across space and time. And you want to have that map to help you navigate your future, and find your place in the human story." -Jess Fong

Don't be discouraged by students finding deficiencies in the projects. Be receptive to adding their feedback into next year's plans, this makes the conversation real!

If you are in the neighborhood, the young designers and engineers in Tucson are at it again!
Students and teachers, tweet away! This space needs voices from everyone, no cap (did I use that correctly? anyways, yeah we are in desperate need of voices). In particular I think memes conveying what you think is happening to our monetary system, globally even, are valuable.
The BitSignal
How do you ring the fire alarm on the internet?
How do you show it’s not a false alarm?
I am putting up the BitSignal.
$1M in BTC to alert us to the stealth financial crisis.
$1000 per tweet, for the best 1000.
Reply with your charts, graphs, stats, memes!
Bring attention to what is happening!
Because the central bank, the banks, and the bank regulators have bankrupted all of us.
They hid their insolvency from you, the depositors.
And they're about to print $2T to hyperinflate the dollar.
In the digital age this will happen very quickly.
So buy Bitcoin *now* and get your coins off exchanges.

Some of our first projects are done for our Meme Museum!!! The students were challenged to bring their favorite meme to life with servos, sensors and led lights. It is safe to say “This is Fire.” #edtech #csforall #code #engineering #makerspace @SVViperPride @DVUSD @birdbraintech
