Our WLB Robotics Club members designed their own mazes on their Chromebooks. Then, they challenged their friends to complete their maze using their @Sphero Bolts!

[Sam Ponzo Byrams @MsSamPonzo]

The students of WLB’s Robotics Club have been hard at work with their @Sphero large-scale maps. Students are working to engineer, plan, design, & construct large maps for their Sphero Bolts to navigate through! There’s some serious creativity & collaboration happening here!

Canada has officially banned LGBTQ+ conversion therapy.

A teacher being removed from an elementary classroom for wearing a hijab should make *every single* Canadian angry, not just Muslim Canadians.

So thrilled that Ada Twist, Scientist made her debut in the Thanksgiving Day Parade! This brainy little girl is teaching young viewers how important it is to be curious, and how anyone can be a scientist—no matter their age or background.

Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order “recruit the best and brightest” as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching.

We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.
