I design, I make, I teach, I learn

So thankful for the great article about our work empowering kids to ‘Fear less, invent more’ https://t.co/kjRGk5hapS via @JewishStandard

@eeriley99 Congratulations! Can’t wait to be inspired by your work.

Thank you @birdbraintech for the awesome starter file to create a Sense-Think-Act Demo Board using our laser cutter “Sparky”. Our 3rd graders are loving it. We are assembling it together. Here is v1.0: board+3 motors

Thank you @EducationDive for the opportunity to share with others about #empathy and #designthinking. I am so thankful to be the #1 K-12 story of 2018 https://t.co/ZkHBmphhwP

Does your school teach computer science? Expand computer science at your school or district. @codeorg https://t.co/OwdhGS1g9X Solomon Schechter students have done more than 10 hours of coding this year just in 5th grade!

Fantastic #ARTOFBRICK Exhibition by @NathanSawaya @CarnegieSciCtr

@qijie founder shares how making and tinkering lead to storytelling and the creation of @chibitronics #InfoXRoads - Making is a great way to foster communication

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

#InfoXRoads I totally agree with @amptMN: a Maker Space is more successful when we focus on “Bring them and they will build” instead of “Build it and they will come”

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

@_GirlsGarage #InfoXRoads great question that needs to be asked and facilitated more often: “What happens when you turn girls loose to make their own world?”

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

@_GirlsGarage #InfoXRoads “Young people are capable of creating incredible things RIGHT NOW, not just in the future or in their careers.”

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

Powerful “Hard Stories” from @_GirlsGarage during the #Maker Keynote #InfyXroads what a great insight: “Instead of trying to be FEARLESS, choose to BE BRAVE aka FEAR LESS!”

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

What a beautiful place! I also love that 1440 = the number the minutes in a day. How might we use 1440 minutes each day to help every child learn #CSForAll and #MakerEd? https://t.co/aEWiZ8Ssc7

[Infosys Foundation USA @InfyFoundation]

We’re getting ready for #InfyXRoads 2018 in Scotts Valley. Looking forward to host 300 researchers, practitioners, non-profit leaders, and policymakers at @1440mv this week. https://t.co/fgVduBu0J5

It was inspiring and humbling to learn about the “Underlying Ideas” behind Seymort Papert and @cynthiasolomon’s work when creating the Logo language. They were using #PBL, physical computing & #dthink methods to teach children programming and math in the 60’s and 70’s!

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

Fantastic retrospective of Seymort Papert and Marvin Minsky’s insights on Teaching Children Thinking by @cynthiasolomon at #infyXroads

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

Check out the fantastic work of @WISERGirls_Intl They are transforming the lives of girls in #Kenya and fostering #STEM diversity. I look forward to helping these amazing girls learn #CSforAll and #tech https://t.co/vdLHD71Kvy

[WISER Girls Kenya @WISERGirlsKenya]

Our senior class traveled to Nairobi to learn coding principles to solve community problems. These girls may one day revolutionize #Kenya's thriving #tech landscape! Special thanks to @AkiraChix and the #Pentair Foundation for offering this opportunity

I can’t wait!! Thank you @InfyFoundation for putting together such a great conference. https://t.co/D8iowX4s0r

[Infosys Foundation USA @InfyFoundation]

At #InfyXRoads @caseymaker @eeriley99 @uteachaustin & Galen McAndrew from @dTechHS will discuss how to transform curriculum goals into engaging learning experiences. How might best lessons from #Maker Movement craft better lessons in the classroom? https://t.co/uN0K9YGZ0o

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

Honored to have received another invite to the fabulous @InfyFoundation USA's CrossRoads. Just got my 2018 tickets. Thank you @kaustavmitra Can't wait to learn and share more about the wonderful world of #CSForAll and #MakerEd... Hope to see you there! https://t.co/4wHrgCfQKB

Exciting new project by @cmuetc presented at @CWBPgh reunion: new room for users to experience interactive documentaries in #VirtualReality - including the history of the Holocaust

[Roberta Brandao @robertabrandao]

As a US immigrant, I want to personally thank Howard Chandler, Holocaust survivor (who immigrated to Canada after WWII) for reminding us during @CWBPgh reunion of all contributions immigrants make to our countries
