The little light up storybook villages created by my circuit elective students for Fantasy week turned out really cute. Some designs were still in progress when I snapped the pictures. #FantasyWeek #STEAM #CircuitsGalore

(1 of 2)Third time's the charm! After many tests, finally got the design that works best. Lumos! Looking forward to Fantasy week at camp. Students are going to have so much fun making these in my circuit elective. #EdTech #MakerED #STEAM. #HarryPotter

Some first grade lanterns before we added the pipe cleaners for the handles. Students learned about circuitry and then made a light strip to clip inside their lanterns. Their sister country is Japan so we also make these to tie into their studies. #MakerEd #STEAM #EdTech

Our Carnival of the Animals unit has come to a close. Last week, the students had their final showcase sharing their movement/dance sequences they coded for their specific animal from the symphony. I was blown away by their creativity and innovative thinking. docs.google.com/presentation...

I am amazed at the students creativity! Finch animals for our Carnival of the Animals unit are coming together. Check out elephant 🐘 and lion 🦁. #Robotics #lego #designthinking

One of my goals this year is to connect more of our tech curriculum with music. We are about to start our Finch robot review soon, so I thought about designing a unit that integrates the Carnival of the Animals symphony. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Flashback to the 22-23 school year. Sampling of butterflies my 1st graders made with @3Doodler pens. We turned them into magnets. They did such a great job. #edtech #3Dprinting
