Graphic design with geometric transformations using @Desmos I love all the different designs and executions of their products. We had magnets, wood engravings, 3D pop out designs.. so much creativity! I will have to post some final products Monday! @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation

Design challenge - Solve any problem you face day to day. This group - I forget to fill up my pets water bowl. Their (in progress) solution, a sensor that would light up to show the bowl is empty. They have made it so far in just 2 days! Altering code, wiring, .. @VWeLabs

Then...and now. We have gone from an empty space to a successful eLab in one year. Today the @VWeLabs hosted teachers & admin from Indiana, sharing insights as to what it takes to start a digital fabrication lab and incorporate PBL. @pefchattanooga @PEFinnovation #HCDEengage

Getting to an exciting point in our interactive maps projects! "I want to make the lights go in a sequence to show the Anaconda Plan." I love how they are having to relate context in a new way to teach others. #VWeLabs @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation

When you finally make the twinkle work on Lilypad @JennHorton1 Success!!!

Starting our interactive Civil War maps with e-textiles. Long 8th grade PBL :D Stay tuned for updates! Cannot wait to see how the kids do with sewable electronics. Visitors will be able to interact with each map and learn about major battles, railroads and more... @VWeLabs

Our very own Soddy Daisy Racing Team getting a shout out! Thank you @austindillon3 We will be cheering you on.

Students teaching other students makes my 💓 happy! 8th grader teaching a 6th grader how to set up and use the laser cutter. Leadership, ownership, and independent learning. #VWeLabs #LetThem @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation

Messing around with the e-textiles preparing for the 8th grade social studies project coming soon! Interactive maps here we come :D #LetThem #VWeLabs @PEFinnovation @VWeLabs #sparkfun

May just look like one little light to you but these awesome girls went from no wiring or coding experience to a flashing light for their camera! Little help with the coding but the rest was their drive, effort, and perseverance. #LetThem @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation #HCDEengage

💯% student made! Did copious amounts of research, wired the motor, found an appropriate code, created the casing and structure, tried, tried again, and... #LetThem #HCDEengage @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation xitter.cf/SDMS_VWeLab/status/108…

Some of our finished products / progress! So much soldering, coding, and motors..oh my! Early inventions with 8th grade students. @arduino @VWeLabs @PEFinnovation

Creating our digitally fabricated industrial revolution inventions in social studies! Working models are so rewarding. Students using all the tools in the lab with just one project can be so amazing to watch unfold. #arduino #dremellaser #3Dprinting @VWeLabs

Our SDMS Techno Twins are showing off all their hard work at competition today! So proud of our team. @FRCTeams

Student: "I don't know how to do that.." Me: But can we figure it out? Student: I'm sure I can find it. Student independent learning <3 #Proudmamamoment @VWeLabs @setnstem
