Guitars, CAD and set design at the Sydney Theatre Company today with Engineering Draftsman Will Pippen - such a good thing for students to see that life and careers aren’t always straight forward and clear-cut. Thanks for sharing your experience mate! Mark Greentree Technology 4 Learning, NSW Education

Great fun today in the Technology 4 Learning, NSW Education STEMaSESH webinar - getting challenged by the Brickman to build a tower in 20 mins - seems simple but there’s a LOT of problem solving at play #LegoMasters #LEGO #STEM #STEMeducation

The power of “simple” is not to be underestimated. A 5 minute introduction into Microsoft MakeCode arcade is all that’s needed, and schools can get the instant gratification factor of creating video games and learning how to code with JavaScript and Python!

youtu.be/JT5NndP7-ZY If you're wondering what else to do with your Tinkercad models, why not cross pollinate with @MSAUedu, present them in Powerpoint, or show them with 3D Viewer? check out the Live Learning challenges t4l.link/stem to upskill with your students!

Online with Tanya Riach & NSW Dept of Education schools for a citizen science pollinators project - looking at the Fibonacci sequence, where it appears in nature and creating 3D printable sugar syrup containers with Tinkercad. And collaborating on a Google for Education plant map Technology 4 Learning, NSW Education

Outstanding! This is the missing piece of the puzzle for microbit in secondary schools, it makes it the easiest choice for teaching digital technologies now. Ryan Andrew Balzer

Holiday #STEM project: cut through a native bee hive by accident, quickly build box to save them, do more research, build insulated box, place box inside box, spend ages each day fascinated by bees. Kids are even more fascinated than you. Realise you are now a beekeeper 🤷‍♂️
