On the list of things that make me happy today- so excited that these #kiborobot lessons for grades 3-5 are finally going to be accessible to teachers. Was thrilled to help review several of the lessons and get a sneak peak at all the awesome! #EduSky

Live @ #FETC2025 | Brittney Tarr gives us the rundown on #robotics in the classroom! Don't miss her hands-on session tomorrow, "Computer Science Curriculum Design for the Creative Thinker" for the opportunity to work with KinderLab Robotics and LEGO Education tools. tinyurl.com/sc9s2tn6

16 Days into 2025 and I’m blown away to have already gotten 6 opportunities to spread the #EarlyChildhood #PlayBasedLearning #STEMEd love. I don’t love attention, but I’m passionate enough about changing the landscape of #ECE that I’ll keep putting myself out there as often as people will let me! ❤️

Had a blast yesterday at the @legoeducation.bsky.social booth, creating, sharing, and dreaming with other educators! Honored to have been part of the LEGO Ambassador panel on student engagement yesterday! If you haven’t check them out #FETC2025 go get free LEGO, coffee, and a little build time in!

Starting the day off strong convincing my school team to do the @stjude.bsky.social EPIC Challenge with me! Loved the session by #JedDearybury. Just wish he had a larger room and more time! #FETC2025

#FETC day 1 was filled with 5 hours of hands-on fun and creation! As excited as I was to share with all my teacher friends, I’m even more excited to take my presenter hat off today and learn! #EduSky

Today’s the day #EduSky #FETC Lovelies! Excited to present and network with all you amazing educators!

Collaboration is also an essential life skill Ss will use everywhere both now and in their future. I’m always shocked to hear how many Ts avoid group work because Ss can’t handle it. I get it. We’re all #TeacherTired. But if we don’t provide experiences to collaborate, our Ss can’t learn it.

Morning #EduSky! Leaving for #fetc today 🥳🥳🥳 I cannot wait! Interested in a hands-on learning experiences where you can interact and create? Check out my creative computer science workshop or my circuitry table on Tuesday (Search: Brittney Tarr in the schedule). Can’t wait to network with my people!

Always a good day when I get to share my passion for early childhood STEM + Play! Thanks for the opportunity @carlyandadam.bsky.social and the constant cheerleading @ekuwah.bsky.social ❤️

Sharing this again with #EduSky and #FETC as we’re officially in Jan now and if you’re like me, you’re starting to plan your schedules! Excited to meet people! Let me know if you’re presenting on anything early childhood or elementary! Eager to see what others in the field are doing ❤️

Just found out my teacher bestie is getting sent to #FETC with me after a last minute change up and now I’m even MORE excited!

🎉 Start 2025 with Inspiration! 🎉 Our Legend Makers Podcast kicks off the year with @adventuresmstarr.bsky.social ! Dive into play-based STEM, fostering creativity, and building STEM identity in young learners. 🚀 youtu.be/ZOKZX7DvdAo?...

In PreK, our librarian taught about various festivals of light, Ss made diyas or votives out of clay with our art teacher, and today we made electric “candles” with #SquishyCircuits. Tomorrow we will all have a “candlelit” story time together back in the library. #EduSky #STEAMReads #IntegratedSTEM

3rd grade “identity” mural is coming along! Next step: teaching Ss how to make silhouettes and use a vinyl cutter ❤️ #EduSky #STEAM #MakerEd

If you too work at a university, the comments on this post will both give you a great laugh and make you feel incredibly seen

#EduSky & #Canva people- I’ve recorded a presentation via Canva for the first time. View link looks beautiful. When I download the mp4, the embedded videos start instantly and all play simultaneously. Know any solution?

Hey #EduSky Excited to be joining @carlyandadam.bsky.social for the STEM Teacher Summit on Jan 4th! Curious? Comment below or check out Carly & Adam’s website! #stemteachersummit

Some days when I’ve got time to kill between teaching and doc program, I like to grab students from after school and test out lesson ideas. Today I had a particularly enjoyable time getting to know my coworker’s daughter better while we explored cardboard construction ❤️

After about 12 weeks of hard work in 3rd grade makerspace- our video games & game controllers were finally ready! Obviously we celebrated by having an arcade day! #EduSky #MakerEd #Scratch #MakeyMakey

Exciting news! I’m featured in the latest issue of STEM Connect magazine! heyzine.com/flip-book/st...

The joy of teaching STEM is getting to watch engineers find their own magic ❤️ #EduSky #MakerEd

Hello #EduSky Friends! Is anyone else attending #FETC25 in January? I'm beyond excited to have the opportunity this year to speak on two of my favorite topics: 1) Creative Computer Science & 2) Electrical Engineering. Can't wait to return to one of my favorite conferences of the year!

What a great step for the field that will help make STEM more accessible and thus help diversify the field. Now to put in the work PreK-12, because diverse students won’t apply if we don’t help them believe in their own capabilities

Alright #EduSky Storytime: Today I went to my principal to ask about pulling Ss from Makerspace/art for intervention. We have been getting asked if it's okay for Ss to get pulled from our classes a lot and we wanted to know if that was just a reality of the schedule… 1/3

Hands down my favorite class to teach is PreK makerspace! My littlest engineers are learning about electricity this month and using #SquishyCircuits to make different creations out of play doh and LED lights ⚡️💡❤️ #EduSky #MakerEd #ECESTEM

Between Art and Makerspace, our 1st grade artists and engineers have been studying circuitry and clay… this week they’ll light up their creations 🥳 We were originally going to upcycle old Xmas lights, but the lights keep blowing out so if anyone has advice LMK! #EduSky #MakerEd #ElementarySTEAM

Harry Potter inspired CS project! This 2nd grader wanted to find a way for his LEGO Harry Potter to make “real” magic. And you know what they say “magic is just science.” Or in this case, computer science! #EduSky #MakerEd #CSforAll

S1: Wait, wait… isn’t water conductive? S2: Yeah, but wouldn’t we get electrocuted if we use water? S1: Oh… Ms. Tarr!!! Are we allowed to try water? Is it safe? They may not be the first engineers to ever think of this trick with the #MakeyMakey, but I was still impressed #makered #elemntary

Hello! Trying this thing out! Let’s see if I can game the algorithm here! I’m a PreK-4 STEM specialist interested in ECE STEM, diversifying STEM, play based leaning, and STEM identity. I’m passionate about LEGO education, KIBO, scrappy circuits, and any tool that gets kids engineering YOUNG!
