Today was a good day to celebrate! Scholars have been creating their own games in Scratch and providing feedback on projects to their peers. #greenandgoldenyears

I’m elated to report that I’m back where it all started @CFBISD . I went to Ted Polk MS, and am Newman Smith Alumni. Look forward to working with scholars in the NAF academy in a few days. I will miss @THeightsTAG .

@hschhaya @MLCricket @TexasSuperKings @LA_KnightRiders @LAKRidersFans @lakrider I font quite understand all the rules and it’s crazy that games can go on for days.However , I can definitely appreciate having a ML.

I love kindergartners! That’s where it all started for me. You could do a mini unit on design and modeling where they create sketches then use modeling clay or Lego bricks to build out their model then Tinkercad 🤔

Better off buying 2-3 Enders with heated beds.

Happy Friday y’all!! We wrapped this week on a high note. We launched Genius hour last week and the results have exceeded my expectations and better yet the students own expectations of themselves. Crocheting, CAD,music,graphic design, animation stop motion.

Scholars @THeightsTAG are Learning about UI/UX , switches and experimenting with conductive materials. Love microcontrollers. 🔥 💥 Math, science and Technology integration

[Miguel Rivas II @mrivas_STEM]

This week 8th grade scholars @THeightsTAG are applying what they learned about microcontrollers, IoT and flowcharts to initiate the design, construction and programming of their soon 2 be animated characters.👍🏼🔥

I just realized I tagged the wrong handle on my most recent post
I meant to tag @DallasisdSTEM not @disdSTEM . My bad!!
