@liminalphase I’m so happy that you found it useful! First draft, so please — I welcome remixes and conversation to get it to the next iteration :)

@KrishRoyLab @JClMejias @JCRnEDITORS @JCI_insight This is awesome!! Great work 👏👏👏

Fav outcomes from this project: parents realized kids were engaging in computational thinking (CT) from a very young age & that CT will support their general problem-solving skills! Thanks @InfyFoundation for recognizing the need to support these important, underlying skills!

Friends... are you always asking yourself, “how can I bring computational thinking into my family's board game night?” 🤔

Of course you are. Well, WE HAVE A THREAD FOR YOU

[Prinda @prinda]

@TheTechInteract is on the road today, popping up in RWC Library, playing games and tying them in with #computationalthinking #computerscience. Partnering with the brilliant @tamyraintech and @thegrene. Thanks to @InfyFoundation for making this possible!

[Dr. Emily Thomforde @thegrene]

Come down to the @RWCLibrary today 3-4:30 for math games and computational thinking with @PlayThrive and @TheTechInteract

Fish waste as plant fertilizer?! AquaAWESOME.

Engineering students from @SJSU are in the process of installing a smart aquaponics system in our visitor-facing lab! 🤩

[The Tech Interactive @TheTechInteract]

Today is the first pilot event for “Change the Game!” The goal is to connect culture and computation through games that families already play at home. 💫 #InfyXRoads

Created by @tamyraintech @prinda & @thegrene, made possible by @infyfoundation.

It’s a bad time to be outside so we will have a space with tables/chairs/wifi open to the public this Saturday and Sunday.

If you’d like to explore The Tech but are unable to pay, ask a guest services rep about our open access policy. Have a safe and healthy weekend. 💜

Fun fact! Their process for producing & isolating heme is fundamentally similar to what @TheTechMuseum visitors do in #BioInks in #biotinkeringlab! Using engineered microorganisms to produce a compound that is then filtered and collected! We use bacteria, while they use yeast.

#Museum30 d13: food! Went on a research trip to learn more about the #ImpossibleBurger for a sustainability exhibition we’re developing. Pics: final yummy burger, ingredient breakdown, closeup of heme (leghemoglobin, secret to deliciousness), raw mixture before cooking 😋🌱🍔

Here’s my #museum30 self portrait (day 3), taken in our #BodyWorlds exhibition @TheTechMuseum. As you move closer/farther, it reveals different layers. Fun fact: our prototype name for this piece was Skeleton Dance bc it made so many people dance 💃

So excited to get a #sneakpeek of our new #laser dome today!! #workperks #museumlife

[The Tech Interactive @TheTechInteract]

Come be one of the first in the WORLD to experience a laser projection system in an @IMAX dome theater. 🎬

Tickets are now on sale, so make plans for our grand reopening on Nov. 11 - https://t.co/cNE2kMBfRh

I am filled with so much hope for the future of #making seeing the live polling responses to this question during the keynote at the #MakerEdConvening. So happy to be in the room with so many folks who hold these as core to their programs. 👋🤗

[The Tinkering Studio @TinkeringStudio]

Wowza thanks ~ what an outcome ~ couldn't have imagined a better one!

Makin' sure our fellow doers see this @heyasteph @thenewspace @keithbraafladt @prinda @Regallium @mositampa @PghKids @TheTechMuseum @MakerEdOrg @museumofscience @sciencemuseummn @nysci @NationOfMakers

Congrats to @prinda @biophilebytes @krmozawa @TheTechMuseum & all of the amazing partners for creating the pop up #ASTC18Makerspace. So much cardboard. So much creativity. #ASTC2018 #makered #STEMforall #everybodymakes @ScienceCenters

[Prinda @prinda]

@krmozawa @biophilebytes Back at ya!

[Prinda @prinda]

Have you seen the 💯ft of modular #cardboard 📦 wall that we popped up the #MakerSpaceASTC at #ASTC2018 ? Huge community build project constructed in a matter of hours! Thanks to an incredible team for a high energy installation day! @TheTechMuseum @ScienceCenters

[The Tinkering Studio @TinkeringStudio]

The Maker Space is coming together....66 people from 47 institutions people making the magic happen! @ScienceCenters #MakerSpaceASTC #ASTC2018

[Prinda @prinda]

👀 Did anybody else see this cardboard wall on the move on Friday? If so, you got a #SneakPeek at our Pop-up #makerspaceASTC. Stop by the Exhibit Hall to experience all 💯ft of this glorious #cardboard wall! #ASTC2018 @ScienceCenters #shenanigans

[Prinda @prinda]

Participants in today’s Making & Tinkering Intensive @ #astc2018 were asked to bring an object to share that represents their #Maker practice. Beautiful assortment of objects! Check them out in our Pop-up #MakerSpaceASTC this weekend!
