AOE takes @NSTA! ⚜️ A great way to end our time at the National Science Teaching Association fall national conference was to present on major unit projects and student choice. Bonus: we had a current and a former AOE student with us via Zoom to share as well! @officialSPS

Our major unit project is a 60 second commercial to showcase the non-profit organizations we’ve been working with for the last few weeks. Today, we got advice from expert Mr. Jim of Plotline Film (another @CityofSgf non-profit!) on how to make the best videos! 🎬💻 @officialSPS

Using the design process, students were tasked with creating a device to launch a marshmallow as far as possible. After the first test, students made improvements & tested again. After they found success, we tried launching progressively larger marshmallows. Today = testing day!

DAY 1 at @AOESPS had a bit of everything. From teaching library classes in the kitchen, to offering support to students in their STEM challenge, to a Walmart run for supplies - it was a blast.

Today we completed our first STEM challenge of the year: Wicked Water Slide! 💦🛝 We failed! Spectacularly! And we loved every moment of it! Our Lego mini-figs made it down the slides, some a little more safely than others 😮‍💨 @officialSPS

Welcome to The Academy of EXPLORation! We’re only 3 days into #ExploreSPS @ AOE and we’re having a blast! Planning road trips, building and creating, and of course SNACKING! With a summer like this, it’s a shame we only have 4 weeks together. 🍪🍇🚧👩🏻‍🍳 @officialSPS
