If you can code it... you can build it! 🎮 Over the weekend, dozens of our @nycschools students participated at this year's Battle of the Boroughs Mayor's Cup Finals! Students put their coding skills to the test to design a more equitable and sustainable New York City.

Witnessing the next generation of NYCPS girls in tech is a powerful reminder: when we empower them, we build the future. Huge thanks to the Chancellor for stopping by, and to our host Lola for bringing that signature Battle of the Boroughs energy!

A little delayed, but I had to shout out the #NYCSchoolsTech Summit! January 23rd was a blast—surrounded by my favorite tech-obsessed people and some of the best minds in the game. Can we do it again? #NYCSchoolsTech

Switched from MakerBot software to @Ultimaker I was nervous about how it would perform with our Makerbots. Thrilled to say it’s even better! 🎉 Check out our 4th bag charms inspired by the latest craze! Still loving Labubu, but love their creativity even more! 💖✨

Using Adobe’s Creative Challenge to help my STEM club celebrate their identities. Putting our quilt together to share with the school helps them feel like they belong together in our club. Here’s my digital square! I’ll post more when our quilt is complete! #AdobeEduCreative

At our final GEG of the year, we had a blast with my Lego challenge breakout! The challenge? Create a minifig that represents you & can hang by your computer camera—perfect for Google Meets. Trust me, it’s trickier than it sounds but so fun! Share pics if you try it on your own!
