@KarenDonnelly16 @sheree_pudney The team did so well presenting their plant watering system, such amazing ideas once again @KarenDonnelly16 you are a star.

The Y5 Dream Green Team had an amazing morning pitching their automatic plant watering invention to the Young ICT Explorers Judges via Zoom. A wonderful experience! #girlswhocode #WomenInSTEM #Arduino #sthildasspirit @sheree_pudney @YoungICTExplore

@KarenDonnelly16 @sheree_pudney @T_I_Learning Loved this idea! I think some of our judges needa device like this (my neighbour might say the same :)

A confident pitch by the Y6 HI LED Team with their drum teacher for hearing impaired children - so creative! #girlswhocode #WomenInSTEM #Arduino #sthildasspirit @sheree_pudney @YoungICTExplore @T_I_Learning

@KarenDonnelly16 @sheree_pudney Robot chicken was so good!

For a few years I've been mentoring the grade 5/6 students at my local East Brisbane State School helping them develop technology projects for the @YoungICTExplore program. I wanted to share a recent experience.

@antmandan Was really great seeing you and the students @antmandan, they did such an amazing job presenting their brilliant innovations to the judges. So nice to hear they enjoyed the experience, we love how YICTE brings the community together.

🧐 STEM Teacher… I have been thinking a lot about this term lately as it seems to be increasingly popular. If you call yourself a STEM [STEAM/STREAM etc.] teacher what learning area/s do you teach/report on according to the curriculum? #PrimarySTEMChat

@DrJoScience @curiosci Yes, so true. I have managed to have my students participate in the @YoungICTExplore competition, focused on creating a meaningful solution to a problem they care about using digital tech... I think perhaps I was too optimistic that I could do more! #PrimarySTEMChat

@DrJoScience My students have made the most amazing worlds currently for their @YoungICTExplore entries... I will have to wait until after to share them. :) #PrimarySTEMChat
