PBL while social distancing. Design Challenge: Build a costume out of boxes for a specific sized individual or pet. Each person designs & builds one part. Will they fit together? How good are our planning and measuring skills? ⁦@ltisdschools⁩ ⁦⁦@texaspltw⁩

Design Challenge Friday is alive and well at LTMS in the Gateway To Technology classroom. @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw

Engineering Design group projects continue to take place @LTMS. Great Job period 7 group 1! @texaspltw @LakeTravisMS

@thEMANacho Thank you!

Dear white people, For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer. Let your guard down and listen.

Fun parade of cars today to say goodbye to our middle school students for the summer. LTMS ROCKS!

@Polelock31 @PLTWDreier @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw I have about 90 % of my students actively engaged.

@smithsh5 @PLTWDreier @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw Oh interesting. Excellent flexing. How is student engagement with this in this shifted learning mode?

LTMS Gateway Students have been building shoeboxflyers. We have had a lot great ideas and much success. Here is our creativity award winner. Great Job Greg! @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw

@Polelock31 @PLTWDreier @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw We are doing 1 project across all middle school GTT classes in the district. We chose the NASA Design Challenge "Can You Make a Shoebox Fly". The focus is on the design process. The project has been broken down into 3 weekly assigments with a video or picture due at the end.

@smithsh5 @PLTWDreier @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw This is terrific! Is this Design & Modeling unit? Are your Ss for the unit encountering barriers in distance learning?

We do love our Aministrative Professionals here at LTMS! @LakeTravisMS

Gateway To Technology students are completing their first Online Learning design challenge. They have been tasked with designing and building shoebox flyers. Today, Max 's flyer has set a new record of 49 ft. Great Job and you earned an A+! @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw

Gateway To Technology's first Online Learning project. We are designing and building shoe-box flyers. The completed project is not due until next week but we have students who cannot wait to get it done. Great job Owen! @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw
