π§ This week, our #STEMgirls are coding Water Footprint Trackers in Python + learning how water cools massive tech centers that power Artificial Intelligence. Real-world science meets real-world code! π»π #GirlsInSTEM#STEMeducation#WaterPowersTheFuture
What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights.

In July @CSCIColumbia hosted students from @STEAMpark_KB & @HYPOTHEkids for a day of science in our floor, an exciting opportunity to showcase STEM education and #stemcell research & inspire the next generation of stem cell scientists!

Leonardo da Vinci was born #onthisday in 1452. He epitomized the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with artistic endeavors. #STEAMlearning
One of Leonardoβs most complex pictures β¨
Leonardo da Vinci was born #OnThisDay in 1452. An artist, architect, engineer and scientist, Leonardo created some of the most famous images in European art. 'The Virgin of the Rocks' is a rare example of his large-scale painted works.
At mid-eclipse tomorrow, when the daylight sky turns dark, look for planets near the sun! Venus will be the brightest one. Jupiter will be 2nd-brightest. You might even see Mercury, Saturn and Mars. Read more at: https://t.co/n6c6gePlBg

Happy #LeapDay! We get a whole extra day! πΈ
But why?
We say it takes 365 days for Earth to orbit the Sun, but itβs more like 365.25 (where 1 day = 1 rotation of Earth on its axis). To make up the time, we add a day about every 4 years. https://t.co/ev90QSYbKR

Monmouth Stars is STEAMpark's collaboration with Monmouth County NJ's Vocational School District and Project Write Now. It seeks to bridge opportunity gaps for middle school kids and help them maximize their potential in high school and beyond.
17 teen volunteers from 11 schools gave 889 hours of service this past summer in our Monmouth Stars program! We want to thank them for their hard work and dedication! #monmouthstars#mcvsd#projectwritenow
From educational specialists in writing, math, engineering, coding, visual art, sports/recess and theater to administrative aides and interns, these amazing teens made a difference in the lives of our 4th-7th grade students
It's a great week to #SpotTheStation!
