Today I built a Rocket Ultrasonic Levitation Kit! It’s a great way to practice soldering skills, and the best part? At the end, you get to make objects levitate! Incredible! #stem #stemteacher #science

Do you know that play dough is conductive?

Had an incredible time today visiting the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT Media Lab — the birthplace of Scratch! They’ve now developed the awesome Octostudio app, and my son had a blast creating his own games with it. It was such a proud moment for him to showcase his work! Huge thanks to Teo for the warm welcome and inspiring us with all the innovation happening there

Last week, my son had an amazing time at summer camp at University of Pennsylvania @UPenn! He got to dive into world editing in Minecraft and create new gameplays—how cool is that? Big thanks to @lavnercamps for introducing him to cutting-edge tech and giving him a space to learn, grow, and make lifelong friends. Already counting down the days until next summer!

Yesterday at the University of Pennsylvania @Penn , we built interactive cards featuring robots with spinning pinwheels! We explored how to make spinning circuits and experimented with colorful designs. Thank you all for bringing your creativity and energy — your robot cards were amazing! A special shoutout to @lavnercamps for making this workshop possible.

"Today I’m working from the d.school at Stanford University! The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design is a hub where design thinking and innovation collide across industries and disciplines. Feeling inspired by the creativity and collaboration in the air!

Had a great meeting with my creator partner manager at the YouTube office in Los Angeles. It was a very productive visit 👍
