Our home ed pupils enjoyed collecting colour data with VEX GO. They explored the eye sensor and some of its capabilities. In particular, how it can measure reflected light and "see" colour using the hue scale. #STEM #Edusky

STEM club pupils at Copley Primary School enjoyed making archways with @strawbees.bsky.social. They experimented with the size of the angles and learnt lots about structures. In particular, the pink group were proud of theirs and used it as a catwalk! #STEM #Edusky

STEM club pupils at St Malachy’s Catholic Primary School enjoyed this introduction to VEX GO. They worked collaboratively in small groups to build the robot base and then added a robotic arm. They learnt about motors and sensors while driving their robots and having lots of fun! #STEM #Edusky

STEM club children at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School created identical cubes using @strawbees.bsky.social and then connected them at slight angles to create arches. They learnt about structures and how strong, curved archways can be built from straight elements. #STEM #Edusky

Really enjoyed spending the day with Hellins Partnership schools and special guests at the Teach for Tomorrow conference. We had a lot of fun during my workshop too! It’s always amazing to see whole organisations prioritising #STEM and planning for it. #Edusky

Looking forward to working with the Hellins Partnership schools at the Teaching for Tomorrow conference. My workshop will include creative, hands-on activities and really important messages. I hope everyone leaves feeling excited to apply the ideas to their own classrooms. #STEM #Edusky

The STEM Playground is one of our favourite events! The idea is simple - put everything out and let the children play! So often, the most powerful and authentic learning happens when we create the conditions for discovery and then just get out of their way! #STEM #Edusky

Check out my 2025 summary from ChatGPT. Did you review yours? This feature is fun but also very insightful. How was my time spent on the platform? Am I using it well? How much value did it add? I’m pleased with the results - especially being awarded STEMpreneur-in-Chief! #STEM #Edusky

We love seeing all the great #STEM Christmas gifts in action - where they belong in the hands of creative kids! Henry made this course for his new Sphero robot using his new @nurcstoy.bsky.social - a very happy Launchpad STEM customer! #Edusky

I enjoyed a gorgeous birthday weekend in Zurich, Switzerland. In true Swiss style, I ate a dangerous amount of chocolate and cheese!

Taking the famous Makey Makey piano to a whole other level with Scratch, Makedo and other materials. We had keyboards, guitars, drum kits and more! They used Scratch to find the sounds and assign them to different keys. As one mum said, “The kids were HYPED!” #STEM #EdTech #Edusky

Sometimes the best #STEM products are the simple ones! Check out @nurcstoy.bsky.social! They are reusable plastic joints for connecting popsicle sticks at different angles - perfect for classroom play, making and prototyping! My students love them! #Edusky
