Just (happily) installed 4K Video Downloader. Great tool. fkd.page.link/Anr5 via @4kdownload
Just what makes this STEM?? Begging product peddlers to stop cheapening good education with bad products and worse marketing.#STEMeducation @STEMeducator @kyndra_johnson

Great ed tech tool...and a growing community of users, too! @kyndra_johnson
Have you got your free @micro_mag yet? It's an unofficial magazine all about #microbit, made for the community, by the community. Issue One is available to download now: micromag.cc/issueone #STEM #EdTech #EdTechChat #Education #EdChat
Congrats to Melissa and Shelly of @exploriumdenton, on successfully completing PD training for @ThymioII robotics. Your summer campers will love this!

Congrats, David and Sarah, on completing PD training for STEM Crafters' Drone Pilot curriculum! Happy flying. #stemeducation at @SheltonSchool learn more at STEMCrafters.com
Should code fly this plane? NYT article about Boeing's disastrous MCAS system strengthens the case for uniform coding education. Don't rely on tools that you don't understand! tinyurl.com/y3wggnmp #stemed #coding #K12education

Proud to lead a session on the pedagogy of coding instruction at upcoming *We Tech Computer Science* conference. /If screen-time is bad for kids how do we teach coding? @weteachcs @ParallaxInc @kyndra_johnson bit.ly/2YS5tMh
Make teachers more like football coaches and watch the tide change! nyti.ms/2HeqHxF
So does YOUR mommy build robots...? Happy mom's day from @STEMCrafters !
Working at a cool #robotics company has its perks; our kids think we build #robots even though we might pay bills and manage inventory! 😉 Happy Mother’s Day from #Parallax! 🤖💝 #ParallaxKids #mothersday #HappyMothersDay2019

Do minorities abandon STEM or have we abandoned them? See bit.ly/2VnOUdU for Inside Higher Education's troubling report. We NEED early access, more mentoring, and more pathways to connect kids with careers. #STEM #careerdevelopment @ParallaxInc @sparkfun @adafruit

Rescue #STEM from plug and play. We built this light gate to measure velocity with $25 of supplies. Students gained DIY experience & school saved $175. Love it!
