Looking forward to presenting at @21cli Maker and STEAM Space Symposium with @VarelKeith
Enjoyed it immensely last year as an attendee and expect this year to be another great event https://t.co/XAQCx7OPLq

Gr1s assembled these laser cut tuk-tuks then picked up a few fares driving around our model city using @VEXRobotics 123s

@tombennett71 I think your whole paradigm is wrong. You assume there even needs to be tables and chairs. Feels like you also assume there needs to be 26 students & only 1 teacher. The factory model education system is so pervasive & ubiquitous most can't even imagine an alternative anymore.

@latestinspace Americans will use anything to avoid the metric system

[JackMakes @jack_makes]

@iRunFar Yes!!! Race living up to expectations in a massive way.

Leah puts into words what I’m feeling and I’m sure others are too.

What about Addy and others like her? Politicians don’t even think about how their words, actions, and inactions impact others. #SupremeCourt #RoeVsWade #autism

"...you cannot teach people to be humane by using inhumane methods, and you cannot teach people to be self-governing by controlling them externally." (Porter, 2014)
Great summary of why choice and autonomy is so important to students (and teachers!)

Making kick ass #halloween costumes is the one of the most important jobs of a #makerspace teacher.

@stmsmakerlab Thanks, I'll give those ideas a shot!

Can any #makers share me their tips to getting the protective layer off an old piece of acrylic where the glue has gone a bit weird and it no longer peels.

@padlet Thanks! Sure here's a video, I mistakenly said "X" button in first tweet, I should have said the "remove" button it appears right where the publish button was so sometimes accidentally click it if my timing is perfectly wrong!

Hi @padlet my feedback as a teacher using audio comments on student padlet design process journals
1)I want to record audio & still view the padlet
2)When audio is processing,the "publish" button is positioned where the "X" eventually is after loading: causing accidental deletes!

Kinetic artwork with mindstorms. This will be a #makerspace challenge next week for my primary students.

@iRunFar Haha what happened to "poles are for walkers"?

[JackMakes @jack_makes]

@iRunFar @iRunFar I thought you guys were above these kind of thirst trap shots 🤣

[JackMakes @jack_makes]

@dommytanger @iRunFar Nice, should go for the CR then

[JackMakes @jack_makes]

@iRunFar @dylanbo Wow, seriously fast this year

@keithdunn @MaggatronRuns The coverage by Aravaipa was nearly as good as your fine work covering the Barkley @keithdunn

@dukelyer Haha do it for the global campus badge!! You may recognise the tube I pinched from a puzzle hunt at MIT PD, finally got around to hacking it!

When setting #LEGO maker challenges for students to do at home, it's very necessary that you spend most of the day building your own superhero hideout as an example...
