When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: bit.ly/3CghCUd

Lindsay’s Legacy Foundation is proud to donate $25,000 to Smilow Cancer Hospital Center, bringing our total contributions to over $100,000. We also created craft kits for patients facing extended stays. Thank you to our community for helping us bring hope and support to those in need.

Wrapped up our Sensemaking today with water gels! Also a touching note from a student I’ve worked with since 1st grade: "Thank you for letting me be my own scientist.." This is why we teach – to nurture curiosity and empower young minds.

Recently sent the manuscript for my book, Making Sense of Sensemaking: Designing Authentic K–12 STEM Learning Experiences, to Teachers College Press! Years in the making, shaped by many insights and countless conversations. Can’t wait to share it in a few months!

Hit the sheets and threw some stones tonight! My delivery was solid, but my draws didn’t find the house😔. They made me the skip and our team hurried hard - a bonspiel to remember! 🥌 #SWEEP #CurlingLife #HurryHard

Excited to share Jennifer Cohen’s Sensemaking in STEM project! She created a children’s book that uses roller coasters 🎢 to explain gravitational illusions, making physics fun and relatable. Check it out: 📖 #STEMEducation #PhysicsForKids drive.google.com/file/d/1Nmi_wR…

Love watching future teachers discover science phenomena in their everyday lives through this Phenomena 15-day challenge. Science truly is everywhere! #ScienceEducation Wheelock College, Boston University

They’re all going to have a great time and learn a ton!!! 👏👏👏

DeepSeek's 'aha moments'—recognizing when its thinking needs a reset—fascinate me. This self-reflection wasn't programmed but emerged naturally, hinting it might be fundamental to intelligence itself.

Excited to welcome PBS/@NOVA's Ralph Bouquet to my STEM Learning course today! From teaching science in Philly to leading NOVA's education initiatives, Ralph shows how to make science accessible & engaging for all. Thank you for sharing your journey connecting science & society!
