Happy accident, I meant to buy a hole punch. I accidentally bought this. It makes a great slot connector for popsicle sticks.

Some robotic racing outside of my classroom. Students in robotics 1 in high school use VEX Robotics to build a robot that can go 10m as fast as possible for their first build challenge. #robotics #stem #stemed

How might you code and build a robot to solve a maze? MS Robotics Students must build a maze for their robot to solve, but have to solve another student’s maze as well. No precoding, only sensors. Good times. LEGO Education LEGO #robotics #design International School Bangkok (ISB)

How might you up cycle all the scrap wood from your student’s last project? We are building mosaic boxes in MS design class. #design #makerspace

Solving a maze using a distance sensor can be challenging. It’s easier when your robot can look left and right. Some awesome work by my middle school robotics students. LEGO Education International School Bangkok (ISB) Scratch Team #Robotics #design #STEM

I'm not going to say my student's work being featured on LEGO Education is the pinnacle of my career, but it's up there. Thanks LEGO, and thanks to my kiddos for doing awesome stuff with the weird challenges I give them. #LEGO #robotics

Honestly it’s a little over engineered, but it’s really cool. I’ll allow it :) More maze solving robots from my middle schoolers. #robotics #lego LEGO LEGO Education

We had a great time Singapore American School VEX tournament. My kids had a good time and did well enough, but not so well that they can’t improve their designs. Perfect result. However, the design award was nice too. VEX Robotics #robotics International School Bangkok (ISB)

Hi twitter friends, I’ve got a great crew on here, and while I’m not quite leaving yet I’m going to be spending more time on Bluesky. See you there. I’m at mbycraft.bsky.social

Hi friends, next year we are unpacking our robotics / design / technology standards and examining what is essential learning. If you all had documents or things, I would love to see them. We have design standards here, but they are flexible. Thanks #education #STEMEducation

It was a great weekend VEX tournament for my HS VEX robotics teams. We won the tournament, the skills challenge, and the excellence award. That’s a nice Saturday. VEX Robotics International School Bangkok (ISB) #robotics #robots #vex #stem

I had my HS design students ā€œroughly sketch a 3D building or structure.ā€ Then I gave their sketches back and asked them try and build the design with LEGOs. Then talk to the designer about how they brought their vision to life. Some cool results. #stem #design #education

How might you build a security robot? I’ve asked my HS Robotics 2 students to create a sentry bot that can patrol and area autonomously and driver controlled. I asked that it have a ā€˜threat response.’ One group took that idea and ran with it! #robotics #stem #education

Our final VEX Robotics Thailand tournament of the 2024-25 season. We won the excellence award, were tournament champions and won the sportsmanship award. A great end to an amazing season. Onto the world championships in Texas! #Robotics #stem #STEMeducation

THey anyone going to be at EARCOS Teachers' Conference 2025 in Kuala Lumpur in a few weeks? Let's hang out and talk robots and design and tech! #robotics #EARCOS #ETC2025 tinyurl.com/2bzjc4uu

Leaving this week to present at EARCOS in Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully I can see some of my EdTech friends there. Join me and we can talk about robots! #robots #STEM #STEMed #education #EARCOS
