Thank you to the EGRMS PTO for the mini-grant for a new 3D printer for our Innovation Lab! @mrmacmathsci @ktvance @MrsHardman12 @egrpschools @EgrMiddle
#RegattaWeek at #EGRMS ends with a bang in Science classes where the goal for 8th graders was to build a boat (with a hole in it) out of cardstock that would hold the most mass. Thanks #egrmspto for the continued support!

They didn't know what to call their code and creation using @adafruit in #egrmsinnovationlab but I'm thinking the Dandelion or Inverse Candle. #egrmspto #egrschoolsfoundation #steamed #code #createvsconsume #edtech #edtechchat #womeninstem
