In my #STEM #classroom, students are using #computerscience, digital design, and #engineering prototyping to learn about circuits, ultrasonic sensors, and servos in our daily lives #Middleschool #Wisconsin #Teaching #PBL #Science #Tinkercad #education #publicschools #CS #mentor

This week in our #STEM #lab, something incredible happened. We introduced our young #innovators to the world of servo motors and C++ #programming! Our #students are #mastering the same tools used in #robotics, #aerospace, and #AI, right here in our lab, one servo at a time.

They went beyond theory and designed real circuits using #LEGO, #Arduino, and #Microbit to build #innovative devices such as air quality monitors. #Teaching #Engineering #Education #entrepreneurship #FutureEngineers #ProjectBasedLearning #Innovation #SouthMilwaukee #middleschool

The #Milwaukee Space Apps Challenge will be printed by @gearboxlabsinc at the Milwaukee School of Engineering on October 4 and 5, 2025. Register your teams: spaceappschallenge.org/2025/local-eve… #Milwaukee #Wisconsin #Technology #STEM

One of my favorite projects, the IoT Boat, which I designed three years ago to teach #Engineering and #ComputerScience This project allowed students to test water quality in rivers of #Wisconsin #SouthMilwaukee #STEM #MIddleschool youtu.be/eoPV-jNwIe8?si…

#Teaching #computerscience and how to build devices that #teachers will use for collecting data! A huge thank you to #VTEEA (Virginia #Technology and #Engineering #Education Association) for the amazing opportunity to participate in the recent workshop. #STEM #ITEEA #Wisconsin

Updating our water sensor and coding curriculum for middle school, aligned with #CS and #STEM standards to empower #students as innovators and problem-solvers. Hands-on, real-world learning that inspires the next generation lnkd.in/g4FKAqCZ #Education #MiddleSchool #EdTech

Every day, I step into the #STEM #classroom with one mission: To ignite potential, fuel curiosity, and empower young minds to build the future. My #students discover a new kind of confidence, the kind that comes from realizing, "I can create something that matters." #STEM #tech

The @NASA TechRise Student Challenge Winner Showcase was an incredible celebration of the innovation and teamwork shown by this year’s student teams! Want to be part of the next TechRise journey? Pre-register and stay tuned for more details! :) futureengineers.org/nasatechrise

In our #STEM #Lab, my #students design circuits before building their #engineering prototypes. They practice their coding skills to create real-world application projects. From cars with DC motors to LCDs showing #data from DHT22 sensors that make a digital thermometer. #Tech #CS

They are an example of perseverance and commitment. Go Rockets, Future Engineers, NASA TechRise! @K12FutureE @SoMilwSchools

This experience has truly reaffirmed the importance of introducing #STEM and #ComputerScience early. This weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to work with the Sphero curriculum. It is a great resource for #teaching introduction to block coding in elementary. #EdTech #school

@DrJillUnderly @WisconsinDPI This is wonderful!

Today, the Joint Committee on Finance has a hearing on funding for our schools and libraries. To the members of this committee, understand that funding our schools is not only the right thing to do – it’s what your neighbors elected us all to do.

March 21, 2024 #NASA TechRise @K12FutureE #Wisconsin. March 21, 2025 #NASA TechRise @K12FutureE #Wisconsin. Two years in a row engaging #middleschool #students to participate and showcase their work. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/n… wisn.com/article/south-… Thank you so much!

Engineering design process and #project based #learning in our #STEM lab. Application of digital design, #3Dprinting, #computerscience, and #engineering prototyping. #Entrepreneurship #tech #Milwaukee #middleschool #science

When students come to a classroom and see the purpose of what they are learning, they begin to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be, how #innovation can shape a more sustainable, efficient future. @K12FutureE #NASA TechRise.
