.@FIRSTweets president and former tech executive Don Bossi spoke with EdSurge about why robotics are the ideal gateway sport for budding innovators and how educators can get their students involved. https://t.co/Ihe72FQprd #edtechchat

TiDA insight from our Reggio Emilia collaborators: “the primary role of documentation is to help you think about what you’re doing. This can take many forms other than writing — to allow time for children to realize what they’re learning.”

Still thinking about a clip @cynthiasolomon shared #ScratchMIT2018 of Marvin Minsky stating "we need to teach children to enjoy being wrong" / taking pleasure in that process is what tinkering is all about! Getting it wrong & getting new ideas 2 try out based on what went wrong

We have lift off! We couldn't be more excited to join @FIRSTweets in announcing the release of the #MISSIONMOON and #INTOORBIT challenges with a special good luck message from @esa astronaut @Astro_Alex on board the International @Space_Station! https://t.co/mbQmVWxaW1

Just completed and framed this industrial art-graffiti board to bring wall space to life. :)

Happy #SpaceExplorationDay! On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed the first two humans on the Moon: Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot @TheRealBuzz. 🌕🚀 #FIRSTLAUNCH2019 https://t.co/XpCnQpTSt9

The device, unveiled today, is intended to help scientists catch elusive ocean dwellers, collect data, and let them go unharmed https://t.co/vjsEAP9L4W

We’re preparing to send humans on a journey to deep space and we’re one step closer with the most recent parachute test. Parachutes on @NASA_Orion – the spacecraft that will carry future astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit – successfully deployed on July 12: https://t.co/lQBg0RPI6i

Kilauea has been erupting nearly constantly since 1983, but the eruption that started in May is “unprecedented in modern times” https://t.co/ah0HUDKgcM

[Saskia Leggett @sleggss]

I often see folks who are designing for kids default to restrictive vocabulary (which they probably learned themselves as children). Language matters: instead of asking "What went wrong?" with creating a project, try "What was surprising?" or "What did you discover?"

[Scratch Team @scratch]

Scratch Camp 2018 kicks off this week! This year's theme is Make Stuff. Each week will feature a new category of "stuff to make," using Scratch and physical materials. Check out the official studio to see what people are already making: https://t.co/WixvBDLQYs

Curiosity is the force within a hungry mind. How do you plan to inspire it in your students this coming school year?

Summertime digital art tinkering—a digital sketch of my dog simply layering and grouping shapes and editing points in PowerPoint. Fun.
