UN Sustainable Development Goals, spaghetti towers, and prototypes! More great creativity coming from the students during the #VerizonInnovativeLearning STEM Achievers camp at #niacc! @myniacc @NACCE

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

Team drawing, vision boards, and a wonderful zoom meeting with a #Verizon employee made for another busy day of the #VerizonInnovativeLearning STEM Achievers camp at #NIACC! @myniacc @NACCE

The tallest freestanding tower we had measured 118 inches (9.8 ft) and the suspected design in the stairwell measures in at a staggering 23 ft 3 inches! Awesome to see the creative approaches these students found to build! #niacc @NACCE @myniacc

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

We’ve entered the final week of the #VerizonInnovativeLearning camp and the students are still giving it their all! While one group decided to bend the “free standing” rule of our newspaper tower challenge, we had some awesome builds! #niacc @NACCE @myniacc

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

Digital footprints, bartering, and touring the #NIACC Health Simulation Center made for an awesome start to week three! Complete with a PPE relay race! #VerizonInnovativeLearning ⁦@myniacc⁩ ⁦@NACCE⁩

I had the pleasure of climbing the ladder and releasing the designs! It was awesome to see that even from that height many of the designs survived! #niacc @NACCE @myniacc

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

It has been such a busy week with the
#VerizonInnovativeLearning STEM Achievers camp I
neglected to share the photos from Tuesday's Egg Drop Competition! The campers here at #NIACC were able to make such strong designs we had to extend the ladder several times! @NACCE @myniacc

Beautiful morning to start the #VerizonInnovativeLearning STEM Achievers camp with some outdoor team building activities! Today’s goal: create a square with a loop of string while their eyes are closed! @myniacc @NACCE #niacc

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

We had a great time working with the students and sharing a little about the JWST! Here's the SciShow video about them we shared with the students: https://t.co/hwkPjWyK2c #VerizonInnovativeLearning @NACCE @myniacc #niacc

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

The students have had a great time creating with their hands, programming in CoSpaces, and learning a little more about the James Webb Space Telescope! #VerizonInnovativeLearning @NACCE @myniacc #niacc @NIACCInnovWork

Had a great time this week helping with the #VerizonInnovateLearning STEM Achievers camp! It is awesome to see all the creative things the students come up with! #niacc @myniacc @NACCE

[NIACC STEM @STEM_IA]

We had a great first week of the #VerizonInnovativeLearning STEM Achievers @myniacc! Our campers began learning the design thinking process and dove into all sorts of emerging technology, from 3D printing to virtual reality! More camp coming next week! @NACCE #niacc

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

Had such a great time at the @NACCE #makeSHIFT conference yesterday that I totally forgot to post any photos! It was a ton of fun with get sessions and even better people! @STEM_IA @NiaccPappajohn @myniacc

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

Making some final tweaks to the presentation for our #makeSHIFT session tomorrow. Pleased to represent @myniacc @NACCE’s makerspace conference and excited for things to kick off this afternoon! @NiaccPappajohn @STEM_IA

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

Glad to be a part of @myniacc’s booths at #BuildMyFuture today! Lots of awesome groups here today! @STEM_IA @IASkilledTrades

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

@STEM_IA we had a great time at the science museum! Tons of fun demos and cool facts!

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

@STEM_IA On our way to the science museum! Playing Uno to entertain ourselves along the way.

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

Bots to help clean up the room!

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

#VerizonInnovativeLearning students are pushing their coding skills today at #NIACC! @STEM_IA @NACCE @NiaccPappajohn @myniacc

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

The students were able to code the rovers to follow each other, bringing a rubber duck along for the ride!

[NIACC Innovation Workspace @NIACCInnovWork]

We had tons of fun coding Sphero RVRs with the Mason City High School Robotics Team this afternoon. Thank @STEM_IA for letting us use the rovers! #niacc @myniacc @NiaccPappajohn

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone!

And good luck to the folks at NASA for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope this morning! (7:20 EST, 6:20 CST) You can catch the livestream of the launch here: https://t.co/uXvyFDBKWc
