My student’s built a cardboard chair that holds me! First chair of the year that works for me. No glue or tape, just cardboard. I’m definitely a bit heavier than most middle schoolers! Great work. #STEM #design #kispride #making

How might you build a security robot? I’ve asked my HS Robotics 2 students to create a sentry bot that can patrol and area autonomously and driver controlled. I asked that it have a ‘threat response.’ One group took that idea and ran with it! #robotics #stem #education

I had my HS design students “roughly sketch a 3D building or structure.” Then I gave their sketches back and asked them try and build the design with LEGOs. Then talk to the designer about how they brought their vision to life. Some cool results. #stem #design #education

It was a great weekend VEX tournament for my HS VEX robotics teams. We won the tournament, the skills challenge, and the excellence award. That’s a nice Saturday. @VEXRobotics @ISBangkok #robotics #robots #vex #stem

Hi friends, next year we are unpacking our robotics / design / technology standards and examining what is essential learning. If you all had documents or things, I would love to see them. We have design standards here, but they are flexible. Thanks #education #STEMEducation

We had a great time @SAmericanSchool VEX tournament. My kids had a good time and did well enough, but not so well that they can’t improve their designs. Perfect result. However, the design award was nice too. @VEXRobotics #robotics @ISBangkok

I’ve got 22 kids and 5 robots today at Singapore American School for a gigantic VEX V5 tournament. 49 teams total. It’s a good day. @SAmericanSchool @ISBangkok @VEXRobotics #robotics

@DEpperzeel @LEGO_Education @ISBangkok @scratch Yes, it's a middle school class for 7th and 8th graders. It's Robotics 1. We are currently in the 5th unit, using the ultra sonic sensor and if/than statements to solve multiple mazes.

Honestly it’s a little over engineered, but it’s really cool. I’ll allow it :) More maze solving robots from my middle schoolers. #robotics #lego @LEGO_Group @LEGO_Education

@NzWaikato @LEGO_Education I’m a bit taken aback. Opening up my gmail to see an email from LEGO is a pretty wild feeling. There’s a lot of teachers doing really awesome work and I feel especially honored for mine to get showcased. Hopefully it’ll help me showcase more of the folks that inspire me.

@CGedtech @LEGO_Education @ISBangkok @scratch Thank you so much. They are fantastic kids. Not every kid's robot is where this one is. As for timing, I have had them since early August, and I see them every other day. We've had about 9 weeks of classes.
