Such a fun time presenting with my sis at #SpringCUE 🌴

Tks Makey Makey for donating the swag! We definitely converted many more #STEM Ts to Makey Makey! 🤛⚡️

SO happy 9 of our Double Peak School teachers could come to CUE & learn so much to take back to our staff!💡🎉

1st graders read the Lorax, wrote speeches & designed dioramas in our #Makerspace Then, had SO much fun 'shrinking' them to place them inside their creations while teaching them the magic of #greenscreen technology tks to DoInk Tweets.

Super excited to present at CUE in Palm Springs again!⚡️💡🔌📚👏

Huge thanks to Makey Makey for the fun SWAG to give out at our presentation!🎉

Rainbow STEM ☘️
Highly recommend keeping this in your March #STEM bag of tricks! Squeals of excitement as they catch rainbows then create a reverse rainbow Newtons disc to prove Isaac Newtons theory of how rainbows are made! ☀️💧🌈

Math + Makerspace! 👏
8th graders had a creative week in our Makerspace that incorporated their current math unit with building 3D scale maps of a water park. Last visit to our Makerspace before going off to high school! So proud of my DPS innovators!

Another 5th grade class just finished their turn in the Innovation Lab with me for a fun Micro:bit Educational Foundation Math Game design challenge! Creativity, collaboration, coding, making…all while reinforcing their math learning of decimals! 🤯

2nd Grade Scientists spent 8 sessions in the Makerspace for an Earth Science Unit including Mystery Science 🗻⛈️💡

So much fun and so much mess...the perfect combination of high engagement in #STEM learning!😁

Kinder and TK Scientists practiced making predictions and using their observation skills with Steve Spangler fake snow during Innovation this week!. Most importantly, these adorable little scientists celebrated how important it is to be CURIOUS!🧐 ❄️☃️

Give some 1st grade scientists flashlights & ask them the 3 very important questions:
🧐 What do you notice?
🧐 What do you wonder?
🧐 Why??
You’ll see them shine with so much learning & excitement!
Such a fun Groundhog’s Day STEM lesson! 🔦😎

1st Graders coded Ozobot for Valentines-themed sight word practice💕

Tricky and fun way of incorporating any content into coding?? 🤓I think YES! 😎

Give us a story & we’ll retell it through coding! 📚➡️🧑‍💻

1st graders using Scratch Jr to code The Boy Who Cried Wolf 🐺🐑& used objects (town, trees, etc) to be narrators…a 2nd grader’s idea & it opened up so many more coding possibilities! 🧑‍💻💡👏🤓

Just taught my 1st in-person college class! #bucketlist
Fun Fact: I walked into my room & found this relic front & center! Then I found this paper⬇️in dusty file bin! I then asked my students if any knew what it was & only 1/38 did!🤔
BEST surprise 🚀 to my #STEM in edu course!🤣

➗MATHS ➕CODING 🟰 FUN LEARNING!
Why not combine creative coding into your maths teaching and encourage students to create their own maths games? It gets the 👍 from Make💡Design💡Innovate pupils!

After learning about the different types of clouds, 3rd graders learned how to find directions by playing with compasses. Next, they engineered working wind vanes so they could measure the wind direction in case storm clouds were coming! 🧭⛈

How should we celebrate a successful 9 weeks of Lego Robotics club? Why, Battle Bots, of course! 🦾🤖🎈⚔️🛡️

Elementary students are so creative when we give them freedom to learn through problem solving. Love that this design challenge supports local birds!

Who loves Mystery Science as much as I do!? 🙋👏

Such a fun lesson! Also inspired by That STEM Guy bird feeder challenge, I had my K & 2nd scientists learn about birds and what they need in their bird feeders. Perfect #STEM Springtime activity for all grades! 💡🌎🦜
