Starting NSTA in Atlanta with the Keynote from NASA astronaut Megan McArthur, who served as the flight engineer on the ISS. Her mission was the last to service the Hubble Telescope, and she actually used the robotic arm to capture it while flying 17,500 mph. #NSTA23

I'm having a bit of a fan-girl moment, which isn't usually my thing. Waiting for a session to start with Paul Andersen of Bozeman Science. He provides amazing resources for student learning, especially Phenomena, and is truly passionate about science education. #NSTA23

Supporting the secondary science in McKinney at the Physics Olympics Battle of the Blues at the egg drop. Great engineering design going on today! #mymisd #McKinneyScience

More Egg Drop action from the Physics Olympics and some score tallying by Dr. Kendra Henke. Great event put together by our McKinney ISD Coordinator of Secondary Science. #mymisd #McKinneyScience

It's a great day for science educators in North Texas. Thank you Allen ISD for hosting the STEAM Symposium today. Keynote by Dr. Victor Sampson, the Director of thr Center for STEM Education at UT Austin. #S3NTX23

I'm excited for 23-24 as I prep for "hands-on, minds-on science" for our McKinney ISD Elementary students. #myMISD #McKinnneyScience

Connection activities during Leadership Summit make for a nice quick break! Way to represent our table Stacie Nickols #WeAreMcKinney

So excited to present with my Science teacher bestie! McKinney ISD Professional Learning #misdSPARK #EveryStudentEveryDay #WeAreMcKinney

Little by little, I've been getting the Science Lab at our newest campus, Frazier Elementary, unloaded and organized. I'm excited for the science experiences that students will get to do this year and for many years to come! #WeAreMcKinney #McKinneyScience

A great day of learning for our McNeil Mustang 2nd graders at McKinney Roots! #myMISD #misdLEARNS #McKinneyScience

A really good start to CAST23 with the Keynote given by Noah Bushnell, founder of Atari, creator of the first ever computerized video game, Pong and Chuck E Cheese.

Last day of CAST23. Great sessions yesterday with STEM, ideas that support teachers with new TEKS. I'm wrapping up with a session by TEA about Short Constructed responses scoring for STAAR. Lots of learning and info to bring back to MISD Science teachers. #misdLearns

National Science Teaching Association we are stoked to be a part of #NSTASpring24 Excited to learn and grow! #McKinneyScience #WeAreMcKinney #STEAMTeam

I am stoked for our keynote with Mark Rober!!! Great call NSTA!! ##McKinneyScience #NSTA24

Amazing STEAM learning experiences happening across our district from our Frazier Gators to our Evans Panthers way to go MISD! Lots more coming throughout the school year. #MISDSTEAM #curiouscreativeconnected #LEGOEducation #Bluebot

1st graders are lighting up their creativity! 🔦✨ Using LEGO Spike Essential kits, these young innovators are building their very own light sources. Hands-on learning at its brightest! #CuriousCreativeConnected #TeamMcKinney MISD STEAM

Day 1 at TCEA 25 in Austin with Discovery Education learning about Pivot Interactives and Mystery Science. #TCEA25 #DiscoveryEducation

Love these shade structures created by our wonderful kindergartner engineers! #steam #mymisd McGowen Elementary Teresa Bilyeu

Today, some of our Eddins Elementary Kindergarten Wildcats designed and constructed structures keep their lemonade in the shade! Great job, Natalie Parker! #WeAreEddins #LegacyLife Teresa Bilyeu Eddins Kindergarten Wildcats

Hard at work building our hand2mind Structures for Shade- can’t wait to see the final products! Teresa Bilyeu #finchfalcons
