Sometimes a session grabs your attention right away and it becomes a “must do” session for you…that was this session for me, from the moment I saw it on the schedule…and it did not disappoint! #drorigami #unchospitalschool

@andreabeatyauthor.bsky.social Look what came in the mail today!!! And my students helped me finish our door by decorating their own Lego people! Love sharing your books with my kiddos. ❤️🔬🧬🔭 #Edusky
I have created a new @donorschoose.bsky.social project for my #STEM class! donorschoose.org/project/document-camera-for-stem/9762481 If you are interested in helping or willing to repost I appreciate it! @craignewmark.bsky.social #teacher #teachersky #edusky #tech
A purple and red octopus talk to each other on the tin can telephone. Purple octopus says “want to connect your students with real Scientists?” Then red octopus says “Skype a scientist matches groups with scientists for virtual q&as. It’s free!” And then an orange flapjack octopus says “get a match at skypeascientist.com”
Alrght everybody, get your Tin Can Telephones out. We need your help!
We reach new people by word of mouth. Send all your educator friends this pic! Teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, etc! We offer our program for free, so we need help getting the word out without advertising $$.

When I was a kid, 'Junk Sculpture' involved grabbing anything from the nearest bin and taping it together. 😆 I've learnt a lot in the intervening years, but the principle remains the same.

Taking the famous Makey Makey piano to a whole other level with Scratch, Makedo and other materials. We had keyboards, guitars, drum kits and more! They used Scratch to find the sounds and assign them to different keys.
As one mum said, “The kids were HYPED!” #STEM #EdTech #Edusky
"But the sessions have a loftier goal than just avoiding summer brain rot: to reverse the gender and race disparities in who studies and succeeds in math and science." www.edsurge.com/news/2025-08...

"Now a group of women, led by welders who know well what it is like to try to make their way in a male-dominated profession, are volunteering to restore the ship. These volunteers are 'a testament to women building the ship and carrying the torch forward'" www.latimes.com/california/s...
Help make new science terms stick by introducing vocab in context! Here’s how. 👏

Many of you resonated w/ what I shared earlier:
“Students don’t need more motivation. They need more meaning.”
Here are a few tiny shifts we can make this school year to help students connect to their learning.
Which of these have worked for you? What would you add?
#just4you #EDUsky #backtoschool
Letting students in on the “why” has been important in my classroom and helped me connect the meaning of the learning and make it relevant for students. Love all these ideas! #edusky
Same! Would love to hear recommendations from other teachers! I do love my Vera Bradley backpack (the bigger size)….but I’m always on the lookout for other rides…desperately need to replace my lunchbox!

I think they look like good places to go and hide with a book ... need to take my own lock.
We've got a book about them on the website now, if you want to learn more too. - Michael

Headshots of author and illustrator, with the following text: "Justin Krasner at Sourcebooks eXplore has acquired world rights to Newton's Paws of Motion, a humorous picture book take on the fundamental principles of physics as seen through the eyes of a curious cat and his exasperated family, written by Laurie Ann Thompson (l.) and illustrated by Karen Obuhanych. Publication is set for May 2027; Ammi-Joan Paquette at Aevitas Creative Management represented the author, and Anne Moore Armstrong at the Bright Agency represented the illustrator."
I'm thrilled to share my latest book deal, a humorous STEM picture book inspired by my very own cat (and his many "experiments")! I couldn't be luckier than collaborating on it with Justin Krasner and Karen Obuhanych (go look up her cat illustrations right now). I'm still pinching myself! 😃
Wishing a happy 78th birthday to Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, who in 1983 determined the retrovirus responsible for AIDS, and then spent the next decades traveling the world to coordinate AIDS detection and treatment procedures.
