Measuring Scavenger Hunt! @CarltonAvenue

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Love seeing these!

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

5th grade at @NoddinElem put on their version of Caine's Cardboard Arcade today. So much fun to see their creativity and engineering on display for the whole school to come play - more than could fit in one short video! #USDlearns #CardboardArcade

Exploring chemical reactions and aerodynamics by making bottle rockets! Baking soda + vinegar for fuel, with 3D printed nose cones and laser cut acrylic fins.

STEAM Night (Mission:makerSPACE) fun at Alta Vista! Space travel with Makey Makey & Scratch, Constellation Identification, Circuit Straw Rockets, and Space Illustrations.

Getting excited for Open House … Ss test out their VIP presentations (George Lucas, Kobe Bryant, Rosa Parks …& more!) #makeymakey + #scratchcoding … ❤️ #STEAM across the disciplines (social studies, ELA & more) #carltonUSD #USDLearns

5th graders helping their 1st grade little buddies learn how to create, define, and modify shapes in tinkercad.

[Jackie Knudson @MsKnudson1]

Making #simplemachines to learn about #mass and #friction. They really got competitive once the binder clips came out. 😂 #ThirdGrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

[Kate LaBarbera @MsLaBarbera2nd]

What a great way to end the day @USDiSTEAM with our big buddies! Will Humpty Dumpty fall? #usdlearns #carltonusd

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

@MsLaBarbera2nd Love it!

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Loved seeing them work together to create and refine this!

[Jackie Knudson @MsKnudson1]

The latest challenge in the #STEAMlab is #dashrobot races using a #rigamajig maze created by Ss. Lots of redesigning & problem solving occurred over the last hour. #3rdGrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

[Jackie Knudson @MsKnudson1]

We let the #thirdgraders loose on the #STEAM lab to pick their own project. Sewing (hand & machine) & cardboard fort building were definitely the most popular. Ss said it was the best part of their day! The only request…more machines. #USDlearns #NoddinElem

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Fun with chemical reactions and making scientific observations at @OsterElementary this week!

[Kristy Chia @MrsKChia]

What’s better than Valentine’s Day + STEAM?! Valentine’s Day + STEAM w/little buddies @mrsgmcgarry 💕! #USDlearns #CarltonUSD

[Jackie Knudson @MsKnudson1]

Building hurricane proof houses with @mscurry_ class in the #STEAMlab today! #science #weather #thirdgrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Today, a 5th grader used the laser cutter to cut a cardboard guitar based on his drawing. Next, he plans to decorate it with conductive elements that will pair with Makey Makey and Scratch to make a playable guitar. So much fun!

Kicking off our weather unit with an in-house field trip from @valleywater to learn the Water Cycle Boogie and flood preparedness. #watercycle #weather #science #thirdgrade #NoddinElem #USDlearns

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Lots of creativity and fun in the makerspace today: learning to use a sewing machine and foam cutter, battle bots, cardboard engineering, and more. #USDlearns

[Christina Olvera @COlveraCarlton]

Ozobots are so much fun! #coding @CarltonAvenue @usdlearns

[USDiSTEAM @USDiSTEAM]

Loved watching @MrsKChia introduce her class to Makey Makey and conductivity #USDlearns #STEAM
