Our leader and leading supporter in Blacksburg is also Associate Dean of the College of Engineering, and Executive Director of our Center for Enhancement of Engineering Diversity, Dr. Bev Watford.
Over 470 5th graders joined a 2nd pilot of our @AFCEA Engineer the Planet Hackathon from @OneRCPSchools, @FtBelvoirES, @FCPSSTEAM and @DoDEACrossroads in @pwcgov. Thanks to @AFCEABelvoir, @AFCEARockbridge, @AFCEAQP our @VTmetroDC #microbit provider @FCLEdu, and all our sponsors.

As cities change, more people use communal bikes & scooters — but those people are relatively unprotected on the road. To improve road safety, we’re working with @commsignia & @spokesafety to add #CV2X technology into micro mobility vehicles. Learn more: bit.ly/3NINy4E

Micro:bits in the science classroom.
Ss @microbit_edu moisture sensors all set up and functioning perfectly! All set to add on automated water pumps next week. Great task for exploring conditional coding and real world data. 🌿 #microbit #stemeducation #primarystem #edtech

This summer’s Technology and Engineering Educators’ annual meeting and professional learning conference is in Winchester.
@VA_TechEd Winter Board of Directors' meeting. Productive planning to help Technology and Engineering teachers in Virginia. @VirginiaACTE @childengineer @VirginiaCTE
A great pilot project with #microbit microcontrollers for the entire 5th grade.
5th graders are problem-solving like computer scientists & participating in "Escape the Planet," a coding challenge. @AFCEABelvoir @FtBelvoirES @FCPSSTEAM @dodeagrants @NancyHRowland
