We โค๏ธ combining storytelling and STEM! Thanks Ame Dyckmanโจ Dan Yaccarino for such an amazing mentor text to use with our STEM campers ๐๏ธ !


At Austin Middle School in Irving ISD, teachers have access to a host of emerging technology, like AR and VR tools, in the school's #VerizonInnovativeLearning Lab. See how they're extending learning with extended reality: youtube.com/watch?v=kI9eTsโฆ


Recap of STEM Camp! We had so much fun! I got to work with campers on programming the BOLT+ robots. Day 1 and my friends were already professionals!! IISD STEM & Innovation Erin OโConnor

Day 3 we programmed our BOLT+ robots in some fun games. One of our campers received a Ronaldo jersey for his birthday the day before so he was ready for competition!! IISD STEM & Innovation Erin OโConnor

Day 2! We worked on coding the matrix to loop our designs. We learned about the science behind skate parks and worked to code the BOLT+ to navigate our new Terrain Parks. It definitely took patience but our campers were amazing and kept trying! IISD STEM & Innovation Erin OโConnor

Day 4! We made and coded our own obstacle courses. Campers used tape to measure and label so they could easily insert the measurements into their program. I am so proud of our campers and all of their hard work! IISD STEM & Innovation Erin OโConnor

STEM Quest was a success! Our campers had a great time and were able to learn and show off their coding skills! IISD STEM & Innovation Erin OโConnor

Day 4 Nimitz High School Summer Robotics was a success. Major progress from all teams. Herobots almost complete and Sophomores added their 5.5 W stacks. Almost time to code. Irving ISD CTE Irving ISD VEX Robotics REC Foundation #Team77711


Thanks to Region 10 ESC CCMR for the opportunity to share how Irving ISD has married STEM ๐ค and Storytelling ๐ โ and ensured TEKS were aligned โ ! From stop motion to engineering projects and more, there are NO limits to what your sts can achieve when THEY tell the story ๐!


Thatโs incredible! You all are doing such wonderful things for our Irving ISD readers!!
