Our LMA GEMS Club students applied their artistic and mathematical skills to create tessellations today! The Ss definitely worked through some productive struggle with translations, rotations, and reflections in order to create tiles to tessellate! La Mirada Academy GEMS

LMA GEMS Club Ss learned how to make an Origami Lotus Flower. TY to our guest teacher, @TeresaLMcCarthy for joining us!!! If you like to make one, please join the GEMS Club next month at the Super STEM event in CSUSM. La Mirada Academy Jenn Carr Sarah Graybeal cori.wurster Lidija Belobrdjanin

Such a fun day! 💚💚💚

A little rain won’t stop these La Mirada Academy #LMAGEMS students from working towards their dreams and making a difference in the world UC San Diego.

Yesterday, LMA GEMS Club Ss visited UC San Diego. Undergrads shared college life & took them for a mini tour. TY to the staff from both schools & chaperones who are difference makers! Like what one of the undergrads said, "It's never too early to think about college!" La Mirada Academy

“If she says they’re good, then I’m ready to go.” Katherine Johnson was asked to check the numbers of the electronically calculated trajectory of astronaut John Glenn’s 1962 orbital mission — by hand. Honor her contributions to our space program: go.nasa.gov/3a6ytWh

“I counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church…anything that could be counted, I did.” As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel. go.nasa.gov/2SSXcre

Katherine Johnson (1918-2020) The little girl who loved to count who became the woman to inspire us to dream immeasurable dreams: go.nasa.gov/37P1xzW

“It’s people like her…who paved the way for people like me to become astronauts.” One of our ARCHIVED NASA Astronauts, Jeanette Epps, and others reflect on what Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to them. Watch: go.nasa.gov/37Rgj9b

We LOVED having Erin Waggoner, an engineer for NASA, speak about her passion, profession, and women in aeronautics and space engineering at our LMA GEMS Club meeting! La Mirada Academy #LMAGEMS

We escaped! LMA GEMS Club Club students used their math, collaboration, problem solving, & leadership skills to break out of the virtual Escape Room is less than 30 minutes! #LMAgems La Mirada Academy #distancelearning #SanDiegoMath docs.google.com/presentation/d…
