Edit…If we know diet greatly affects performance…

For instance…if we know diet fuels health, why do we continue to feed our young learners brains with donuts in the morning!!! It will be tough to “make” solutions and things if they can’t stay awake! #makingmakersbook #stem #STEMeducation #steam

I want to do an entire chapter on why we choose not to look at the performance enhancing techniques we strive toward in business and adulthood and not translate those to young learners.

New chapter idea in #makingmakers Book… I am currently listening to another book on increasing personal performance. I’ve read or listen to dozens of these “self-help” books. Where is the research on creating optimal performance in the classroom.

The educational learning model is somewhat based on many learning theories in the past especially Bloom’s. Mine is a little different: Explore Discover Learn Create Share Any initial thoughts? #stemeducation #makingmakers

I hope to post some of the overarching themes for chapters of the book and see if I can garner some feedback from other #stem and #steam professionals. The purpose of the book is to share thoughts and ideas on how to provide educational opportunities that create “makers”. 2/3

Making Makers - Havent posted in a while… Still continually amazed at what young learners can produce given opportunities. Been working on a book for the last couple years. It’s far enough along now that I wouldn’t mind crowd-sourcing some ideas and gathering stories. 1/3

What are you using to have them cut the cardboard?

@tinkercad Within classes can students create objects and share them into a class repository? It would be fun to assign certain parts of each biome to kids. Each kid m would be responsible for one item, but kids could create more if they want.

Tell us a little more. Are they creating animals or other objects to go into a biome or trying to create the whole biome in TinkerCAD?

Happy to be associated with this great group of young engineers! @napls_hs Rocket club finished up their promotional video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=uFcVHn… #makingmakers #Stem #engineering

1/4 of our cardboard carnival games done! Great job by our @napls_ps @napls engineers! 3 weeks until showtime! #stem #steam #makingmakers

Start with the products in mind. Work backward from there.

On the Engineering side same tools as before but we add lots of building manipulative kits to lets kids just explore thing like gears, axles, etc and put in @MyRoboThink robots.

In the Tech side our best tools are @Creality3dP and @tinkercad . We also do a lot of laser cutting and poster/sticker cutting.
