When you think of @PrattInstitute you can think about how small homes can be made sustainable & still affordable. Thank you @prattcenter for leading the way on this critical work. https://t.co/KHEH7Czbhq

The trouble with STEAM and why we use it anyway… here’s to equitable, transformative learning #prattResearchPower

[Mark Rosin @guerilla_mark]

Boom! Our paper, "The trouble with STEAM and why we use it anyway" is a #TopCitedArticle in Science Education. It provides a framework for equitable, transformative learning using #STEAM. And, it's open access!

@amyjko Trans-rights are human-rights. And the families that empower their kids to be who they need to be should be celebrated and supported. #transFamilyRightsNOW

[Allison Druin @adruin]

My thoughts are with our community of trans and non-binary kids. Your voices are being heard. And to all of you parents who have walked through fire to support your awesome kids, you are heroes (when you shouldn’t need to be).

We live in Texas and are non-binary. We appreciate the support we are seeing. We aren't moving and won't be pushed out by continued anti-trans legislation efforts.

Support @EqualityTexas, @TransTexas and @ACLUTx to defend against bills like the 30+ anti-LGBTQ+ filed in Texas.

@bederson Can't agree more. So so so sad...

[Allison Druin @adruin]

@tania_uxds Yes, we learned that kids love to search by the color of the book cover. We incorporated that into our International Children's Digital Library.
