Dots, Dots, and Ozobots! #DotDay2022 Dr. Rodriguez STEM Academy Ozobot

These engineers used the tunes of nursery rhymes to create their own lyrics to a song. Their song was about energy and its different forms. The results were so catchy! 🎶🎵🎙#STEMed #creativity #collaboration #music #STEAM Dr. Rodriguez STEM Academy

Morning STEM Bins for the win! 🙌⚙️❤️🏗👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ These engineers LOVED starting their day with these themed STEM challenges. I think it's going to be our Wednesday morning ritual. 🤔🙃 Dr. Rodriguez STEM Academy #collaborate #criticalthink #creativity #engineer #STEMtasticMorning #SoftStart

Teachering on a Saturday. Learning new things with these ladies is always a fun time! 🍎🙌 #lifelonglearners Dr. Rodriguez STEM Academy
