I loved seeing kids fly through these STEM escape rooms that I made for the last week of school. Along with their Genius Hour projects, mosaic art and everything else my amazing colleagues planned, it's been a busy end to a busy year
Our 3D printed bridges have been tested! Students designed different types of truss, arch and suspension bridges in @tinkercad, and (most) passed the weight test. Small but mighty! ๐ช #STEM
It was such a pleasure to join @theACAMIS Technology Conference @BSB_Shunyi! Thanks to all the other presenters and participants for so many great conversations and ideas! #VEX#edtech#Arduino
Iโve recently released gpu-io โโ a WebGL computing library for real-time physics simulations, particle/agent-based systems, cellular automata, image processing, and general purpose GPU computations.

Final light energy projects are in! This is always such a fun, creative project and a great way to practice #EngineeringDesign. Great job g5! #STEM#PBL
Our latest #PBL work in grade 5 - students are imagining how they can use reflection and refraction to save energy๐กTime to collect recycled materials! ๐ ๏ธ๐๐ฆ
Back at school! After 2 weeks online because of a COVID flare-up, we are in the classroom again! Starting #grade5#STEM with explorations of light ๐ฆ๐ก๐
Starting research for our renewable energy project! Groups pick anywhere in the world to study, and this pair will be designing a plan for how Mongolia can shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources #STEM#renewableenergy
Spaghetti tower challenge to kick off the school year @WhittleSchool Shenzhen! This team made it strong enough to handle a 1.5ft drop โจโจ #STEM#BackToSchool
It's been tricky since China banned access to Scratch last year, but I'm happy to see creative local start-ups making similar programs that integrate w/ #MicroBit and are bilingual! ๐๐
Just discovered #CodeMao on the @microbit_edu coding page, and I can't wait to use it this year in STEM class! ๐ฉ๐พโ๐ป๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป๐ฉโ๐ป
