I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.

Teacher Team Meeting #NASAMgUE
We had another team meeting this afternoon over coffee. We finally had some aha moments about the deployment procedure on the microgravity floor. Our understanding of the process is evolving. The team has been flexible and willing to charge into the unknown. We discussed some of the progress made towards promoting our participation in NASA Microgravity University for Educators. We are making some headway in developing some community partners as mentors. We have reached out to Boise State University, Power Engineers, and Micron. We are also sharing our exciting project with the school at a spirit assembly. Students and teachers on the team will be introduced, and information will be shared about our exciting project with NASA. It will feel good when some of the different aspects become a little more concrete, but we continue to forge ahead with fortitude. I'm amazed at the team we have assembled. We are finding it hard to contain our excitement about going to Johnson Space Center.
