1st grade @CameronElem working collaboratively on our outdoor sensory walkway they helped design. Thank you @FCPSFoundation for funding our grant!

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

Ms. Snow @CameronElem came into the STEAM room to try out her 6th gr. students conductive creations with @makeymakey @FCPSSTEAM

5th grade students @CameronElem have been making 3D character models in Tinkercad and then animating them in Mixamo.

1st grade @CameronElem tested their boat designs for how much weight is could hold before tipping over or sinking. They enjoyed engineering boats with upcycle materials after a Float or Sink Experiment.

5th graders @CameronElem are engineering drawbots with circuitry, counterweights, and creativity! Check out how this one moves:

As we kick of the school year check out @CameronElem and @STEAMCameronES in @FCPSR3 explaining the importance of #FCPSSTEAM and how it supports students engaging in meaningful learning experiences and #POGinFCPS. @fcpsnews

@MadridTess @ParklawnFCPS It’s super awesome- but private information of full student names being visible is a legal no-no, and you should replace it with a blurred/censored vid, or the audio as post. I’m fcps too, and just trying to keep you safe as well.

What’s your #TeacherAppreciationWeek story?

My favorite HS art teacher, Doc Lewis, made me feel human & connected in a dark time of my teen years, and I owe her for keeping her eye on me and her heart open. She is part of why I pursued teaching art myself and I am so grateful.

Three new self-guided elementary art experiences with pdf guide and all resources linked. https://t.co/cbklEuJv83 • https://t.co/E6JNCypRq8 • https://t.co/ypZbOriFMJ •
Available for ANY student or teacher that needs it! #distancelearning @NAEAElemArt @NAEA

Check out our 6th graders @CameronElem presenting to 2nd graders their LEGO EV3 robots they programmed to dance. Some built creative bodies to go on top. @STEAMforALL @FCPSSTEAM

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

More @makeymakey instruments in action with 2nd graders @CameronElem Great chance to upcycle materials with STEAM learning!

[Cameron Art @ARTSCameronES]

Robot Instrument Design by 2nd graders @CameronElem. Circuits through @makeymakey allow them to play music on the computer through their designs. @FCPSSTEAM @STEAMforALL

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

6th graders @CameronElem helped sort the new LEGO Mindstorms kits. Thank you @FCPSSTEAM for all your hard work with the Boeing Edison Pyramid Grants. We are VERY excited.

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

Look at these collaborating 3rd grade engineers in action @CameronElem! This is one of my all-time favorite design challenges to build temporary survival tents on a life-size scale. So much creativity and POGs in action. @FCPSSTEAM

Science night at Cameron!

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

When growth mindset is becoming normalized, “It’s not impossible, you’re just giving up to early!” Says one 4th grader unprompted to another in today’s STEAM challenge. Oh, my teacher heart!!! @CameronElem

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

Last one for today, I’ll get the rest shared next week. This group took a different approach and had to innovate paper application to avoid splattering the audience!

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

This one moved in a circle too, but in a different way.

[STEAM at Cameron ES @STEAMCameronES]

And this one acted like a riding bull from the motor used in a different way. Another similar design used two motors.
