Prior to this year, I would've said you'd have to pry my paper Engineering Notebook out of my lifeless fingers before I'd voluntarily make the switch to digital. 🤣📓✂️ But, now, after seeing how students make them their own, I'm *this* close to choosing it for myself! ⚙️🖥️

Getting into VEX with the Principles of Engineering courses! 😁🔦🔩🔧

Workers in the skilled trades are getting us through this week, and will spend the coming weeks putting our homes, schools and businesses back together. Check out opportunities in these careers! https://t.co/ShKghWFank

Printing some students' backpack charms while up at campus today. There's a pretty cute snowman buried under all that scaffolding ☃️😁

Remember those days of team lunches, field trips, blowing out candles and hugs?? I miss 'em! Vaccine #2 in the books yesterday and couldn't be happier! 😁🩹🩺 #sciencerules

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

Back from a social media break, and brought a new little rocket scientist with me! Miles was born 9/29, and was a very welcome addition to 2020!! 🥰👶

Join our zoom meeting this Thursday!

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

Followed @klloyd_edu's advice to personalize my Zoom waiting room 😁👍 The meeting name would show up below the pic, I had to meet with myself to get a screenshot 😂 I do attendance as Iet them in.

The nosepieces on this glasses-style face shield were way too long to properly wear a KN95 mask, so I hacked my trusty Oakleys into the most comfortable shield ever. Work smarter out there people!! 😎😁👍

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

Teachers- we heard yesterday that removing your mask to teach in class is an option if you are 6 ft away from students (in KISD). PLEASE choose to wear it. You could emit aerosols- infectious viral particles that drift around in the air for up to 3 hrs https://t.co/rca94nzmvt

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

Welcome back to all the teachers starting inservice days today!!

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

@KellerISD There is no audio on the live stream, and 1500+ people watching....please fix asap

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

@KellerISD We need to Start Safe; take time to make campus specific plans better than the vague, nonspecific details currently released. Prioritize your staff and students. Follow the science, not the politics! Students and staff are worth it!🤞

School can still be open if the building is closed!

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

It is impossible to mitigate virus spread in a classroom, don't kid yourself that we're prepared to keep kids and staff covid-free. It's impossible.

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

So much this. Nowhere in the plans released have I seen consideration for the lives of teachers and staff, many of whom are either high risk themselves (🙋‍♀️) or live with people who are. Rigorous remote learning is a viable option- AND WORTH IT. Esp. in buildings with 2k+ students

[Christopher Emdin @chrisemdin]

It is unethical to expect teachers to return to in-person classrooms in the fall when their level of exposure to the virus will be exponentially increased. You only gamble with the lives of people you have no value for

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

@alexplihon_9 Congrats Alex!!����

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

@KCALGEARS I can't wait to see what everyone works on!

[Elizabeth Mitias @STEMRockets]

My May timeline flashbacks are always full of pics like this. 😍🚀🎉Feeling pretty bummed for all the rocket teams that didn't get to finish builds and launch this spring!! I was really looking forward to helping from the other side of the fence this year!
