Each day this week, we're looking at how past #FallingWallsEngage finalists are engaging the public with science while staying at home. @TheLaboratoryCh launched a YouTube channel to help kids learn about science. Check out their videos bit.ly/3baMeUw #EngageFromHome

To help kids & parents staying home and safe, we started a YouTube channel with "classes" that kids & adults alike can tune into. We have links to handouts and corresponding NGSS standards for teachers. Please share and subscribe. tinyurl.com/shyegyh

A great interview with one of our favorite writers
We sat down with Mo Willems, author of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus!, and chatted about creativity, drawing as a form of empathy, and letting kids “do 51% of the work.” edutopia.org/article/mo-will…

Thank you so much for highlighting our work
Meet Edward Kang '06 PhD. He received his doctorate molecular neuroscience from @NUFeinbergMed in 2006. Ed is the co-founder of @TheLaboratoryCh, which has been invited to present at the @SXSWEDU Conference in March 2020. Learn more: bit.ly/2Q4w1ar #MeetTGS

Again you so much for inviting us to participate in such a stimulating conversation to make science accessible to everyone.
Throughout this conversation, I kept thinking how I’d love to be back in school to experience the kind of science curriculum Rackeb & Ed would design. Tune into hear their ideas on disrupting STEM education and bringing storytelling into science @science_broads @TheLaboratoryCh
Thank you so much for inviting us to be part of a great conversation.
For the final conversation between scientists for #KCRWBerlinPresents @BerlinSciWeek, we paired 2 finalists from #FallingWallsEngage to talk about what they're working on: @science_broads founder Rackeb Tesfaye and @TheLaboratoryCh co-founder, Edward Kang. kcrwberlin.com/2019/11/berli…

We can all help our children learn to more effectively use the time they spend studying by sharing research-proven techniques.
Highlighting is a common study technique—but here’s what’s more effective.

How to use storytelling to boost learning in STEM
Using stories can be a helpful way to move students from learning science facts to appreciating science concepts. 🐉 edut.to/2AnuQLN

We had fun learning from @TheLaboratoryCh in time for back-to-school science. (Of note, my kids LOVE Dragons Love Tacos and also refuse to eat salsa!) Is your kid's favorite book on the list? chicagoparent.com/play/the-l… @ChicagoParent #BackToSchool2019
