Assembly and packaging first set of face shields for healthcare workers. So happy we can help!!
I couldn’t have dreamed this up. I’m by NO means the brains behind this, but some of my closest friends and colleagues are. So thankful to be connected to such incredible humans & happy to play any role! – at East Ridge, TN
When I was asked to be a @VWeLabs Specialist I knew it would afford Ss & myself special opportunities. I NEVER dreamed that I would have the opportunity to be a part saving lives. All VWeLab Ss get the training to do exactly what is taking place. #HCSLeads #HCSLeadsInnovation

THIS SHOULD MAKE NATIONAL NEWS: #HamCo TN Commission votes to fund $1.5 million for @baylorschool scientists to provide COVID-19 testing up to 300 DAILY, with results available in FOUR HOURS! Will start SOON. Drive-thru centers will focus FIRST on medical workers & those at-risk.
I’m with @OMSVWeLab ! Happy to contribute NP’s 3D printers to this initiative! Go @CoachStone12 @CSeanard & @choochupacabra !!! – at Chattanooga, TN
If you haven’t been following @CoachStone12 as he leads work with @VWeLabs in prototyping and creating a 3D printed mask for health care staff, you need to do so! Below is a pic @STEMcha of printers being readied for production. #impact could be huge
#HCSContinuedLearning update! 4th grade S, Molly Singer, was out of good snacks, so she used materials at home to make her own. FOURTH GRADER! #problemsolver #designthinking #npway

Continuing to be blown away by the hearts of my Ss. They are #futurereadynow & way more aware than given credit for. #HCSContinuedLearning #designthinking #studentvoice
7/8 grade Ss took a survey to choose which PBL to focus on this Q. Then engaged in group discussion stating why they chose the topic they chose. The empathy is BLOWING MY MIND 🤯 & MELTING MY HEART 🖤. Topics chosen: violence, homelessness, & #coronavirus. #HCSContinuedLearning

#HCSContinuedLearning challenge is happening over here. I challenged my 4th & 5th graders to solve a problem using the #designprocess. One S said he’s out of chapter books so he will make & illustrate his own. Another S says she’s out of snacks, so she will create her own! – at East Ridge, TN
2nd G Ss use #designthinking process to make an invention to help NP. I only spent 1 hour with each class teaching @tinkercad. Look @ this 3D printed prototype & final product! 🤯 THESE ARE 7 & 8 YEAR OLDS! Never underestimate your Ss! #npway #letthem #futurereadynow #HCDEleads – at Chattanooga, TN
Ss hard work is FINALLY paying off. Choc. bar created using Belle Chocolates, tinkercad, 3D printing, and a vacuum mold. Brendan Patrick is sharing about the chemistry of tempering choc. by controlling the formation of beta crystals. 🤩 #VWeLabs #npway #hcdeleads #letthem – at Chattanooga, TN
Yay @DrBryanJohnson !!! I am so happy! – at Chattanooga, TN
BREAKING: The Hamilton County school board approves a new four-year contract for Superintendent Bryan Johnson, followed by standing applause from the crowd.
The vote was 7-2.
Stay tuned for more from the @TimesFreePress.
When you tell Ss they can communicate their learning any way they want- they deliver AND they’re excited. These Ss have stayed on task & asked to come in during lunch to work on their rap. Excited to hear the final version! #letthem #DesignThinking #autonomy #studentchoice
