@LEGOfoundation @ProjectZeroHGSE @ISBillund You mentioned that you were going to post some of the videos on socials after the conference. I am keen to share some of the amazing practice with my colleagues, in particular, the maths class with the students who know "being wrong is the first step to being right".

@WhyMaker @dailystem @ideo @stanforddschool @mabycraft @CB_MrsWilson @kristina_waner @STEAMColleen @afmcdnL @SarahRiveraSTEM @MrsLavelle I started with Invent to learn and The Art of Tinkering too. I also really enjoyed maker-centred Learning https://t.co/LxbCknv0vw

I follow the FabLearn conferences too, lots of great presentations https://t.co/O0rFUPE1U6

Is there anything in particular you want to work on?

Views! All the views, and the Brunswick St trendy vibes

Laneway trendy eats

Sitting in an old train, with views over the city.

New location, same awesome chickpeas.

@Saradha_K *repeat until additional hands are available to help.

@shirky17 I use this to help design them

Gears can be tricky to understand, I love the animation with the gear generator to play with different features to see what works.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@mattyxb Time mostly. Energy also.

@emmaphys I do a CUPs activity with them. They are great to remind them what they know and flush out any misconceptions. I normally have props that they can use when discussing in their groups.

(Click on student worksheets to see a list of the ones developed).

@shirky17 I like doing wax stamps (for sealing letters) for learning CAD design for a 3d printer. For laser cutter design I often do simple automata or tea lights. Both exercise spatial skills and design process.

If you have played Wingspan, could you please fill out this quick survey on Wingspan & birding for me? Birders & non-birders welcome. RTs appreciated. https://t.co/GvgGpxKY2c

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@playbrarian @playlearnconf Why pick? They both sound wonderful for different reasons.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@ashleepearson_ @byjessicadeters That sounds fab.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@byjessicadeters Ooooo, maybe I will try to go next year. I should have data then.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@emwdx @IlyaBaran37 @shirky17 @Onshape Indeed. Connecting with the algebra the students are learning is so valuable. I will have a look at FeatureScript. Onshape couldn't do it back when I checked, so this will be amazing if it is possible now.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@dailystem Azul, Catan, Forbidden sky (although I wish the electrical connections were better), Ticket to ride, Carcassone, Wingspan. Pretty much anything except Candyland/Monopoly/Game of Life (pure chance games).

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@emwdx @shirky17 Is Solidworks still the only appropriate CAD that students can put in a cartesian equation and do a revolution to create a volume? When I checked 7 years ago the other student friendly CAD packages didn't have this ability. It is really valuable for maths students.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@shirky17 It is more the drivers for the machines. I worked at a mac school and needed a PC to run our CNC and laser cutter. Added complexity with fonts and the like.

[Kristen Hebden @CraftieK]

@KaleidoscopeSci @MichaelCRalph I am in Australia, so our PhD programs are a bit different to the US. The coursework I did was around research skills and it is just my research that is specific. Is there anything in particular you would like to know? DM me if it is easier.
