Simulation done with the amazing new Sim Lab at @tinkercad along with real object and behavior, using my Hilbert ramp model (download STL here: https://t.co/gAvMtUVUUy ) Fun!
Begin 2nd sem w/a focus on building community! Here's a collection of conversations starters. Dedicating 3-5 min to these quick convos at start of class, group work or discussions = students feel more comfortable sharing their ideas!

Our @WoodlandPK8 sixth graders are finishing their cam-driven automata projects. A mix of @tinkercad-designed 3D printed parts along with hand-engineered elements, controlled with @microbit_edu and coded in the new Python editor.
