Feeling energized after our build day with @ymcasf! We worked with #YMCASF STEAM Specialists to build tinkering inventive play sets for #ExploringBalance and talked about remixes for different contexts. We also tried a #zine as a reflection tool for the workshop! 📖🔨 (1/2)

You say it's your birthday? It's our birthday, too, yeah! NASA was founded Oct. 1, 1958. On Oct. 1, 2001, @NASAHubble took this picture of a galaxy 50 million light-years away. Check out what the space telescope saw on YOUR birthday: imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/hst_bd…
Like our Milky Way, the galaxy NGC 3949 has a disk full of young, blue stars peppered with pink star-birth regions. In contrast to the blue disk, the galaxy's bright center is made up of mostly older stars and appears more yellow.

Highly recommend trying this system for tinkering with rollers that @ryokomatsumoto dreamed up: I used golf pencils as spokes combined with washers, slinkies, etc. Videos of how they roll 🛼 are below. Thanks for the remote R&D @ryanejenkins @smartinseb @deannagelosi @ilmungo 😊

I made a remix from @CeMoCreates #AnimateYourWorld amazing project! Also, I added a little twist: instead of books, I brought some of my favorite records alive! #Scratch + GIFs = cool animations !!!!! 1/2 #ComputationalTinkering @RedeBdeAC @danilyra @TinkeringStudio @scratch

“There’s no better use of money in science education than moving to approaches that are phenomenon-based” - @bpenuel We couldn't agree more! bit.ly/3hK0wlh

Effective Science Learning Means Observing and Explaining. There's a Curriculum for That (Opinion)

Researchers say grappling with problems beats out traditional approaches.

Replying to @jillsciteach @birdbraintech
Yes! I find that computer science and electronics can be intimidating for beginners, using cardboard for robotics construction makes it more accessible for students, lowers intimidation, allows confidence and creativity.
