Two ways that teachers can have fun during the mundane moments in class! Easy and so much fun!

Making a glowbox is one of the example projects that help #5thgrade kids practice with the #cnc. Next year the projects get harder and more custom!

These #8thgrade students had insane persistence to get this working! They started with a broken drill and a scrap bicycle. They're definitely better a #engineer after this one! Note the sweet spoiler! #steam

Creators practice usong a #cnc and make their own glowboxes. #STEMeducation #makersgonnamake #makerspace #makersgonnamake

I have been working like crazy to create a new course called Innovative Arts. The goal is to help students become creators of their own type.

Looking for #engineers with an online presence who my students can browse as they try to think like an #engineer and start creating. I'd like to have a variety of awesome creators as examples as they dive into becoming creators! Amateurs or @petersripol awesomeness is perfect.

[Peter Johnson @mrjohnsonsci]

Concrete learning will always beat abstract concepts. Kids need to have a foundation to which to anchor their learning. It's true as a #teacher and a #parent

[Peter Johnson @mrjohnsonsci]

Kids can be given the tools, time, and guidance to become #creators. Our lack of imagination is all that is stopping us.

Today we were learning how to safely use tools and build confidence in doing new things.

@TeamScienceEdu @iGCSE101 Have fun teaching and let the chips fall as they may. Don't trade joy (yoir or theirs) for 0-3%

[Peter Johnson @mrjohnsonsci]

@parknaturalist1 Could you answer some questions about Barn Bluff? We are hoping to take a field trip and include barn bluff as a stop. Thanks.

[Peter Johnson @mrjohnsonsci]

@EdWeekTeacher Yes. Teach earth science and the MN standards mention climate, so I'm all in

[PI MS/HS @MSHSPI]

Our 8th graders are excited to learn about personalized learning time in the fab lab!

Pretty sure eclipse won't happen. Everyone knows astronomers are just chasing grant money.
