Using @tinkercad for learning the basics of wiring electrical circuits is always one of my more enjoyable lessons.
Kids learn the basics ✅
It is safer than teaching them how to solder cathodes ✅
It’s on their Chromebook so they have fun while doing it ✅
A win for everyone!

5th graders at @CDonaldsonES are earning their first FabFolio skill while building cabins that can withstand a dust storm. Today they’re focusing on developing a plan with materials and measurements and then showing that they’re using appropriate tools for the job. @VWeLabs

3rd graders @ Apison Elementary are getting a refresh on the Engineering Design Process as they 3D design coins for their house competition. Mr. Bevil combines something new with something the Ss feel comfortable with to have productive struggle instead of frustration! #VWeLabs

Originally it wouldn’t move and close. Through some man handling I found and broke the supports in the bottom. Then it kept getting stuck. Sandpaper to the rescue. #ChattFab25 @PEFinnovation @pefchattanooga @CoachStone12 @BradleySchools #TSIN

While waiting on my math goggles I decided to make a symbol hat. Each disk has magnets and can be changed out depending on what’s going on. Thinking, work time(pencil), invisible when I can’t be bothered, joke time, I’m hangry time 😆#ChattFab24 #TSIN @CoachStone12
