The @MolloyUNews & @NCCSS EduAI Summit was an amazing day of sharing between LI Districts. @MsDiFede @mmcshane_teach @CailinCarlson @MsDeninno @littleklearners & Ms. Guidetti shared how they productively use Ai as a thought partner to promote critical thinking. 🤔

At the St. John’s University Homeland Security Lab, our learners were able to experience an emergency-response simulation! @mineolahs @MineolaUFSD
@mineolahs has arrived at St. John’s University for this year’s Cybersecurity Showcase! Looking forward to a day of guest speakers and an extensive tour of their labs and facilities!

For her Cybersecurity 2 project, Jade taught our RISE learners all about strong passwords! Learners had fun sorting examples as “Safe” and “Unsafe” and even the adults walked away with new tips! 😁 #MineolaProud @mineolahs
#GirlsWhoCode and #WiCyS stopped by @MsDiFede 's AP Computer Science A class to help coders debug by giving them their own Rubber Ducky! They were able to adopt and name their own duck to help them solve problems and thing through coding projects! #MineolaProud
AACA club had an awesome turnout as we celebrated Diwali by learning how to make paper lights! Diwali celebrates light over darkness.

Our WiCyS and Girls Who Code board had a great meeting planning some exciting things for October which is Cybersecurity Awareness month! Make sure to keep listening to the announcements for cyber safety tips! #WiCyS #GirlsWhoCode #MineolaProud
We had a great time learning about cyber law from during #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth We learned consequences of threats and how it impacts the daily lives of people. We learned how our topics reach out into the real world including careers! #MineolaProud
Cybersecurity LOVED using games to learn the concept of encryption in class today! This was my favorite thing learned from #EdCon25 from @cyber_dot_org from @JennyCircello 's talk! We got to work in teams to decrypt and intercept other team's secret codes! #MineolaProud
#MineolaProud of our GirlsWhoCode and WiCyS members hanging up posters to promote the Middle School #KidOYO Hackathon! If you are interested in hackathons and are in the 8th grade reach out to @MsDeninno
Thank you @cyber_dot_org for hosting #NationalCyberCup We had 4 classes compete & collaborate in this event!The competition had 200 teams compete and our teams performed well! MHS had 7 teams rank in the top 100 & top 4 ranks: 31st, 35th, 39th, and 40th place! #MineolaProud
Mineola hackers having so much fun doing @cyber_dot_org 's #NationalCyberCup ! We love working in teams and even made an enigma machine out of a Lysol can! #MineolaProud @mmcshane_teach @MsDiFede
I love how you put together such an interactive lesson to bring this unit to life!!!
Today in #APCSP, learners demonstrated their mastery of our Data Unit by participating in an Escape Room. They converted binary numbers, examined data and metadata, and weighed lossless vs. lossy compression in order to escape! @mineolahs @MineolaUFSD

Opportunities like this make all the difference! Mineola HS Cybersecurity and Computer Science students started their college classes at Nassau Community College this week. Such an amazing jumpstart on their futures. #MineolaProud #YouBelongHere @MustangRory

In APCSP today, students used a mini-QFT to uncover their questions about data and digital information and guide their learning journey! ✏️💭🚀#MineolaProud
