Hey teachers… need a great Friday video? This fantastic video from @NASAArtemis is about all the training and simulation before the launch 🚀

@LiamODin Reading a chapter of Project Hail Mary in my HS math classroom…lots of kids said they’re going now to see it

Took my 16 year old son to Project Hail Mary & we loved it. In fact, he loved it so much, he's going to see again Saturday with his friends. Cinema lives ❤️🪨🌎

…and I’m hoping that author @andyweirauthor makes a “student edition” of Project Hail Mary like he did for The Martian. Kids need great sci-fi books with lots of science & less fiction

This week I’ve had my students reading a chapter from Project Hail Mary for March is Reading Month! And it worked…a bunch of kids are planning to go see the movie!

NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft are getting ready to roll back to Launch Pad 39B for the @NASAArtemis II mission. Teams are currently monitoring the wind speeds before rolling out of @NASAKennedy Vehicle Assembly Building. Follow along: youtube.com/live/ED2nbfb3N…

$20 yard sale vise + scrap plywood top + broken teacher desk = our rolling STEM class cart for kids to learn how to use a drill It’s not about the kits we buy. It’s about the kids we teach.

@tmaynard5 Great job Tara! And even the flooring in that room looks mathematical!

My heart is full! My session at #macul26 was a packed house! Thanks to everyone who endured the floor, stood the whole time and put up with the extra temps to learn about math + tech = engagement! If you missed it, bit.ly/mathtech5 … For old time sakes #miched

@StephenKentX I’ll be seeing it Saturday. Had you read the book first?

Can confirm: PROJECT HAIL MARY is awesome fantastic HOPECORE

Get your hummingbird feeders ready! They will be hungry!

@0Beanie05923291 @TeachLikeAChamp That’s good to hear. I use a lot of complex vocab while teaching HS Math & Science, but I use it purposefully. For instance, yesterday when using the word “trigonometry” I asked kids “what 3 letters are most important in the word” to get them to see “tri” referencing triangles

One thing that stood out to me from the video clips we watched last week in the @TeachLikeAChamp workshop was the high-level vocabulary the teachers used with students. Not just the vocabulary words being explicitly taught, but the words they used as part of their instruction and discussion. Because the teachers didn’t “dumb down” their speech, their students were immersed in the most wonderful and natural vocabulary-rich environments. Hearing the students mimic the teachers in their comments and questions was beautiful.

@Erdayastronaut @andyweirauthor @RyanGosling What used to be your favorite movie? Apollo 13? The Martian? Space Camp? Astronaut Farmer?

Well. I think I have a new favorite movie. #projecthailmary was a fantastic adoption of the book, specifically Rocky! He was so great! Thank you to everyone who helped make such a unique and wonderful story come to life! @andyweirauthor @RyanGosling

Maybe some of my students will be working at @Tesla in Michigan making battery cells: cnbc.com/2026/03/17/tes…

@hschhaya @projecthailmary That’s very good to hear.

@dailystem @projecthailmary It is so good. SO SO GOOD!

About to watch #projecthailmary in my “I camped in space” t-shirt Fanboy mode = ON! Let’s save some stars ⭐️

One of the younger brothers that came to parent teacher conferences asked if he could see the 3d printers… because he hadn’t seen one in person before… then he pulled an Elvis made from pipe cleaners out of his jacket & said how much he likes to make stuff!

@coachthomastech I love it when I get to meet up with teachers from all over! Thanks Dan for stopping by our school & for all the encouragement! Hope your session at @MACUL goes great today!

Off to see. See Chris woods @dailystem. Because when you're in Grand rapids you got to see him

Every few days, students will walk into school with a bouquet of flowers they’ve made, either as a gift or to sell. This heart shaped one today was the best I’ve ever seen (so far)

@Education_Assoc Students doing great things makes the tough days worth it.

@dailystem So awesome!

When a student walks up to school holding his 3D printer, you know it’s going to be a good day of hands-on problem solving!

@IamBillGarland Makes it all worth it.

@dailystem This is the good stuff!!
