This little old blog may have been quiet as of late, but the happenings within our classroom are lively as ever.
I had the pleasure of working with the phenomenal Mrs. Pilong and Mrs. Taverner to create Woods Academy's first ever STEAM event for girls. We hosted approximately 40 young ladies aged 4 through 8. Mrs. Taverner did her magic with art, Mrs. Pilong instructed the girls in robotics, and I got to play around with some very fun engineering concepts.
It was hands-on. And exhausting. And one of my favorite Saturday mornings ever spent teaching.
And exhausting.
But a tired teacher is a happy one. Seeing these young engineers build, trial, modify, and achieve was immensely inspiring.
I can't wait to do it all again next year. Or perhaps sooner? The boys here at school were mighty jealous about the event. It would be great fun to organize one for them, too!
