Wow! 🤩 It’s our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! We had hoped to do a big extravaganza... but... 🤷🏾‍♂️ here we are. Instead, we will gather virtually June 30 (10:30 am - 12)! If you’d like to join us & talk #makered let us know at bit.ly/makeredto2020j… #onted

Finally got it in the mail! I’m excited to see it work! #stem #bbcmicrobit @Spectrum__Edu @Kitronik

This @BeaumondeBHJMS Grade 2 student is very proud of her simple machine. She should be - she planned, designed, built, experimented and improved her own pulley system over several sessions in the STEAM room. 👏 @TDSB_STEM
