So impressed by our students’ creativity and Tinkercad skills!

Virtual teammate during FIRST LEGO League practice? No problem. These guys just strapped their phone right onto the robot for a live action FaceTime. Totally unprompted by me. 😂😂#parishmsmagic #parishstem Parish Episcopal

The essentials for a Saturday morning Rover meeting full of brainstorming and creative ideas with the MS Task 5 Subgroup. #parishmsmagic #parishstem @parishrover Jennifer Makins Parish Episcopal

Using the wizardry of the Splat3D Design for STEAM tool to make high quality 3D design sketches! Love this tool!

I’m so proud of these kids for their commitment and determination!

Can’t wait to test our prototypes this week! #nasaherc @RoverChallenge

If you’re a #STEM teacher and haven’t tried Splat3D Design for STEAM yet GET ON THAT! They have transformed my students’ design plans and now they don’t dread “drawing out their plan”

It’s wood shop time of year in #MAKE Parish Episcopal So fun getting these kids on the (intimidating) equipment and watching their confidence grow. If/Then Jennifer Makins

This week in MS STEM: a round up. Robotics, Rover, Woodshop, & old school STEM challenges. Bonus: treats straight from Lebanon! #parishstem Parish Episcopal

They did it! Our FIRST LEGO League teams that competed today both took home trophies! Crazy Cargo won #1 Core Values and is advancing to Regionals March 5. Elibot won the Motivate award! So proud of their teamwork. #parishmsmagic #parishstem Parish Episcopal

It’s time. 🙏

Check out the Parish World Champion Rover team in action tomorrow morning on Mission Unstoppable! #ParishSTEM #parishepiscopal Parish Athletics

Look what showed up in the Design Den! Brand new Spike Prime Robots from @LEGO! Can’t wait to bust these open! #parishstem Parish Episcopal FIRST LEGO League Jennifer Makins #STEM #STEMeducation #Robotics #f

Today these middle schoolers (that’s right, 8th graders!!!) held their own with the Parish Episcopal Upper School Rover team on a call with NASA @RoverChallenge and y’all, I’m so incredibly proud and impressed. #nasaherc Jennifer Makins David Monaco JM Wilson

It’s here. 5 episodes. 30 emotions. 1 kick-ass audience. And lots of laughter and learning. Huge thanks to HBO Max, Den of Thieves (our producers), and our team. Can’t wait to hear what you think! BB #AtlasoftheHeart hbomax.com/series/urn:hbo…

Check out the Middle Schoolers joining the @parishrover Team Photos @RoverChallenge. Such an impressive group! @parishepiscopalschool #parishstem #parishmsmagic

Run, don’t walk to get this book #stem educators! @lportnoy breaks down the design process. Don’t be intimidated! Combine it with The Global Goals and it’s a recipe for classroom magic! #designthinking #engineeringdesignprocess

Well, I’m moving up to the big leagues next year as an 8th grade advisor! Excited for the new adventure Parish Episcopal with Daniel J. Siegel in my back pocket! #stem #iteachmiddleschool #iteachstem

The Engineering Design Process is in full effect in 7/8th grade Robotics as they make design changes to improve their robots. Parish Episcopal Jennifer Makins JM Wilson #parishstem #superpowered FIRST LEGO League
