@thekylekitchen @stulowe80 @microbit_edu Wow! You just opened a new world for me, @thekylekitchen ! thisiscolossal.com/2018/09/recent…

@stulowe80 @microbit_edu I love the maker journals. It's so great to see how important planning is...this is how DaVinci/Indiana Jones began their quests! 😁

So pleased to see students coming to our makerspace in their own time at lunch to work on a design and making project. Looking good so far for 45 mins work. @microbit_edu

New year, new challenges! @DCI_at_ICS Ss are ready to begin working with wood, clay, cardboard, and many other materials they chose for their #PersonalizedLearning pathway! We also love having Mr. Addisu, one of @ICSAddis’s incredible carpenters to support us! #AfricaEd

@drtstuart @ICSAddis @SolutionTree @AISA_Schools Wonderful!

What a fun experience. Always an honor to share the @ICSAddis @SolutionTree story with @AISA_Schools
