I had so much fun putting together this presentation. I love presenting things I've been trying out, I spent a lot of time with @tinkercad this year and did some many cool things. One of my favorites was teaching chatgpt how to 3d print.

Totally check out @carlyandadam July 17-19

And so ends the great @lego_education sort...72! Robotics kits broken down sorted and ready for their new homes!

It has been a journey creating a Lego education donation program...these blocks have plenty of life left in them.

When a colleague asks if you have any tools for cutting cardboard instead of x-acto knives and you present them with options...well you might be a stem teacher.

Love when I'm working up against a deadline and fine a crazy rabbit hole to fall into.

Yup you should totally check it out
I tried to wait until summer break to crack open this book… but I couldn’t do it! Just a few pages in and I’m already hooked—learning new ways to enhance my practice and grow as an educator!
