The annual Invention Convention is on @wheelerschool. 5th graders are designing solutions to authentic problems in the classrooms and rapid prototyping is underway. Solve it and their products will be permanently installed for all to see! #MakerEd #STEAM #DesignThinking

8th grade designers testing kitchen gadget variants and dreaming up improved redesigns in The DIB Lab @wheelerschool. Inspired by “Well Equipped” from @epicurious. #DesignThinking #MakerEd #STEAM

The Upper School Robotics Team @wheelerschool is hard at work engineering their custom robot for this year’s remote FTC competition. Wish them luck!

This necklace charm was #MadeWithCode in the DIB Lab @wheelerschool. Programmed in Python and output to a 3D printer by 7th grade. #STEAM #MakerEd #BitsToAtoms

3rd grade engineers @wheelerschool are crafting state fact quiz boards with paper circuits. Plenty of room for making in Social Studies. #STEAM #MakerEd @chibitronics

3rd graders @wheelerschool are designing their own state coins for a geography unit. 3D modeling with @tinkercad and printing for a class display. “Silver” filament has real shine! #STEAM #MakerEd

Resin casting experiments are yielding high-quality results in the @wheelerschool DIB Lab!

Our 7th grade LEGO robotics team @wheelerschool getting in “one last brick” in the DIB Lab before Winter break! #CSEd #MakerEd

5th graders @wheelerschool programming artworks and animations with the TurtleArt language. #CSEd

@joshburker @tinkercad For propagating shrubs?

Hamilton 8th graders @wheelerschool embroider their innovation project logo in The DIB Lab today. Working towards proposing their own waterproof apparel company! @NoticeAbilityLD #MakerEd

The DIB Lab’s new pen plotter is outputting its first piece of student drawn vector art - from bits to atoms! Thrilled about the possible CompSci & Art connections! @wheelerschool #MakerEd

Same upgrade, new location. A 2+ in 2020... still better than chewing filament!

@sleggss Neem oil or BT may help. You can also snap a photo and run it by r/whatisthisbug in case you want more confirmation of your insects... and their kryptonite.

Dear Plant Twitter: What are and how do I get rid of tiny, slow white bugs in the top soil & water trays of indoor plants? They're not fungus gnats, spider mites, mealybugs, or springtails. HALP

Ahh. Just found DrawingBots! But please, share your advice if you can.

So I’d like to help students get into CS and art inspired by #plottertwitter. Can any experts recommend a machine to get us started, or share where and how you acquired your plotter(s)? Thank you!

Strong women. #RestInPowerRBG

@joshburker Don’t be fooled folks. That man has no glass in his spectacle frames and is dangerously close to cauterizing his cornea! I am merely expressing my affinity for amateur dentistry. Not pictured, @fpgina SMH-ing at us... but not surprised at our foolishness.

Just a periodic reminder that ⁦@DylanMRyder⁩ keeps it real.

We are proud to announce the launch of WideOpenSchool.org, a new site to help families & educators adapt to online learning due to COVID19. A free collection of the best online learning experiences & activities for Ss curated by @CommonSense & organized by grade & subject.
