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
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! 🤩
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 💃
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. 👋🤗
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
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!
