Snow in the forecast? Not a problem for our 5th graders. They’ve programmed their robot cars to plow snow and clear the roads! ❄️ Next step: earning their robot drivers licenses! Way to go @SFISLions!
I love the way you bring environmental justice and data science into this lesson.
We focused on the “A” in STEAM in 4th grade today! 🎨We are so excited to bring our habitat research to life by painting all the scenes of our habitat change! Stay tuned for how we will add in hummingbird robotics! @SFISLions

4th graders learned about simple machines, types of motion, and different forces as they designed and built amusement park rides for Kennywood @Kenny_Kangaroo. Groups presented and demonstrated their rides, even from home! THIS is what learning looks like in 2022! 🎢
Many thanks to Grable Foundation @GreggBehr for supporting this collaboration to build data science in K-12 education @DataSciColumbia @PittEdu @datatransformr datascience.columbia.edu/new…
.Our partners and friends in KY #AccelerateKY could use your support caring for the people whose lives were impacted by the devastating tornadoes. Here is a way to help.
If you're looking to give money deployed locally throughout the counties/towns hit by the tornadoes in Western Kentucky, we've just launched #KeepOnShiningKY to do just that. Appreciate anything you can do to give, and to spread the word. gofundme.com/f/keeponshining…

Teamwork in action in the Learning Lab today! #SFESLionPride
Inspiring. A snapshot of this K-12 CS/STEAM Pathway preparing students for the future of work.
4th graders investigated the path of an Amazon package and then built the airplane using the @LEGOMastersFOX suspended Lego challenge! #legomasters

Building a CS/STEAM Pathway in schools in rural Kentucky is more than an education initiative. It is part of a larger vision; economic redevelopment for a disrupted economy. Vote for our panel picker idea today panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/11… @DigitalPromise @remakelearning Thanks:)
