“The same physicists who built the first nuclear weapons founded the Federation of Atomic Scientists to advocate for disarmament....” This us what scientists do. #science #STEM #STEMed #STEAM

We offer a free Discussion Guide for From The Ashes that includes calls to action and additional resources. We recommend this guide for grades 7 and up. It also works well for film clubs and community groups. It's a great choice for Earth Month events!

Today's the Day! Don't miss out.

STEM Educators, we hope you can join us tonight, March 25, 8-9 pm ET / 5-6 pm PT for this free live webinar on the power of short films in STEM education.

The workshop will highlight opportunities for civic engagement for students as well as education regarding the environmental issues and challenges facing the world today. We'll also explore tools and resources for 'The Crisis Scientists' — a 6-minute documentary short celebrating heroes fighting to save the planet. This is a hands-on experience featuring tangible materials that can immediately be used in the classroom. For high school and early higher ed.

[Boosts welcome & appreciated!]

Did you know that there are over 1000 species of frogs in the Amazon- and those are the ones we know about!

For World Frog Day, we want to highlight award-winning documentary River of Gold, about the Amazon River Basin. Lesson 4 in our free curriculum guide explores the Biodiversity of the Amazon. It's a great way to inspire students about conservation efforts to protect frogs, and the other flora and fauna of the Amazon. This lesson is designed for grades 9-10 and is a great choice for Biology, Environmental Studies, and Geography classes!

Would-be DJs, #Makers, and #STEMEd friends, learn how to mix-sounds & on a low-cost touch-reactive board! This super-fun #CircuitPython lesson is one my students love. @RaspberryPi Pico & @Adafruit CircuitPlayground Bluefruit code/wiring shown. 32-bit Word to your Mother. youtu.be/RkrbChO-jGk

#Maker & #STEMed folks, want a lesson showing how to wire up a jack that you can connect to any standard 3.5 mm audio plug? Have at it! I show how to do this with an @Adafruit CircuitPlayground board, and a @raspberrypi.com pico board, but same basic set applies to others. Hack on! https://youtu.be/n6Otj6sFRvc

Build a Mouse Glove (or is it Glove Mouse?) using #CircuitPython and a CircuitPlayground (Bluefruit or Express). Tilt to move, tap to click. We'll use the HID libraries and math power and abs functions for a smooth build. A fun lesson/exercise for #CSed #STEMed folks https://youtu.be/pg_HhOIAg2Q?si=oxTvcr88-BtgioDU

#STEMeducation folks, The program I was to lead mid-May through mid-June in Santiago, Chile has been cancelled. This leaves me available for summer program teaching in #SwiftUI and #CircuitPython. Happy to teach students, train faculty & offer curriculum, talk on best-practices in #STEMEd.

If we had to choose just one climate change related film to recommend, it's a tough choice, because we have some great resources in our library, but we'd have to pick Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops.

This series of five short films (which are available for free) explore climate tipping points + what can be done right now to make a difference. It's a great primer on the mechanics of climate change & the urgency of solutions. Our free lessons for this series are designed for grades 7-12. 4/n

2024 is the first year to pass the 1.5C global warming limit.

If you are looking for ways to educate students about climate change, not just in science classes but across the curriculum, we have free resources to help.
