HELP! Looking to add #drones to our D220 STEM program - any recommendations? We want it to be programmable using block based code (not just remote controlled) and easily connect device to device. Having a camera and claw attachment to simulate real world applications are a plus!

So excited to kick off our joint STEM-Library 5th grade project on wind turbines today with an expert guest speaker who is an engineer in the field. And also one of our parents! So much great info was shared! #ColtPride #webelong @NBES220 Barrington 220 Elizabeth Nelson Becky Gill

So happy to be at Roslyn Road teaching STEM this year. Only one problem - bugs! That’s Hexbugs from our 3rd grade boot camp this week😄 Students did an awesome job building, redesigning and collaborating together! Roslyn Road Elementary Barrington 220 @stem220 Ty Gorman

1st grade Civil Engineering bootcamp this week! Day 1: learning that technology does NOT have to be electrical or high tech and making a model of technology used by a community helpers. STEM tying in to classroom curriculum🤩 Roslyn Road Elementary Elizabeth Nelson
