We spread native wildflower seeds in our meadow today and planted our new Mexican plum trees! 🌱🌳 Students learned how native plants support our local ecosystem and how to care for young trees. Excited to watch our little habitat grow! 💚 #OutdoorLearning #STEM @NISDMcAndrew

From kinders to 5th graders, we’re exploring STEM everywhere! 🧪 •Kinder: Health & Safety •1st: Environmental Engineering 🌎 •Coding & tech for all the children💻 Creativity + problem-solving every day! #STEM #ElementarySTEM @NISDMcAndrew @NISDHelotes @NISDSTEMLabs

🌱 Exciting things are growing! Our Garden Club is digging in, planting seeds, and learning how to care for our planet—one sprout at a time. 🌼🍅 #McAndrewSTEM #GreenThumbs #GrowingTogether #ProjectAcorn

It’s Cardboard Arcade time! 🕹️ Loved chatting with these awesome kiddos about our big STEM Night arcade. 🥰 So much fun planning with them today—can’t wait to see it all come to life! #STEM #CardboardArcade #FutureEngineers @NISDMcAndrew

🪴Seriously the cutest garden club in town 🌸 We can’t wait to watch our veggies grow, compost, raise our chickens and talk plants. Love this group 🩷 #ProjectAcorn #Gardening #Pollinators @NISDMcAndrew

🌎💡 This week our STEM classroom was buzzing! Students used teamwork & problem-solving to tackle a storm drain challenge, and we celebrated International Dot Day by making our mark with creativity & collaboration. #STEM #DotDay @NISDMcAndrew @NISDHelotes @NISDSTEMLabs

🐥 What a week in STEM! We welcomed our baby chicks, shared ideas at Project ACORN, and students engineered their own adventure zip line parks! 🚀💡 So proud of all the creativity & curiosity in action! #STEM #ProjectACORN @NISDMcAndrew @NISDHelotes @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDScience

This week in STEM was all about TEAMWORK! 💡 I heard, 'I’ve got an idea,' 'Let’s try this,' and 'Great job!' 💙 Love seeing our students building, creating, and problem-solving together! #STEMEducation #teamworkmakesthedreamwork @NISDHelotes @NISDMcAndrew @NISDSTEMLabs

Create a paper circuits knife switch with some cardboard, Maker Tape, a few brass fasteners, an LED, and CR2032 battery. https://t.co/48XRNOy9r8 #teacher #STEM #education #circuits #maker #papercircuits #STEMeducation #EdTech #LED @dailystem

From one campus to two, you can still find me teaching children to solve the worlds problems with STEM and gardens. I’m heading your way @NISDHelotes ❤️ Let’s build together! Also grateful for my new #ProjectAcorn grant 🌱

STEM night is always a blast! We loved having @UTSA biology, rockets and formula racing clubs on campus, @NISDRawlinson @NISDClark CTE department, and all the wonderful @NISDMcAndrew clubs showcased 🚀. So many families having a great time @NISDSTEMLabs

This. Week. Was. Busy! 🚀 Last meetings for Young Astronauts to see the furthest-launching rockets. Planetarium visits for the littles 🌟solar houses nearly ready for showcase, & Cardboard Arcade practicing final projects for STEM Night! @NISDMcAndrew @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDScience

Big week! Thank you @AlamoAFCEA for my grant to purchase more Nano Bugs, my Solar houses came in from @ToshibaUSA grant for 5th grade to start building. Project ACORN to start more seeds for our spring garden and playing eye spy for our baby bluebonnet sprouts on campus ❤️

Congrats to Stancy Hubbard-Winer, STEM teacher at Sara B. McAndrew Elem, on earning a $990 grant from Toshiba America Foundation for her "Make Solar the Wave of the Future" project! 🌞⚡ Students will build mini-solar houses, exploring energy & STEM innovation! 🌎💡 #STEM #NISD

What a week at @NISDMcAndrew! Swifties Run club Mondays with @GTMAldrich, Cardboard Arcade on Tuesdays, &launching rockets with Young Astronauts on Thursdays 🚀 Love these kids and their commitment to extra curricular activiites@NISDElemScience #CardboardArcade #YoungAstronauts

Happy #NationalSTEMDay! 🌐 STEM isn’t just science, technology, engineering, & math – it’s also collaboration, problem-solving, and communication. It’s about creating the space to think critically and tackle real-world challenges! #STEMSkills @NISDMcAndrew @NISDSTEMLabs

We celebrated Texas Arbor Day with some tree planting on campus 🌳#TexasArborDay2024 #ProjectAcorn @NISDScience @NISDMcAndrew

It’s pumpkin season on campus 🥰. These pumpkins have been growing over the summer and now the littles get to pick their pumpkins, paint, and write stories about them 🎃 #ProjectAcorn #LivingScience @NISDSTEMLabs @NISDScience @NISDMcAndrew

Busy hands building in the lab ❤️. Their teamwork and innovation is the best! My favorite quote “I love STEM and how I get to be creative!” ☺️ @NISDMcAndrew @NISDSTEMLabs

Working in a STEM class means turning ideas into discoveries, one experiment at a time. Loved watching littles build their communication skills and the bigs practice collaboration & creativity #STEM #STEMLabs #STEMFluency @NISDMcAndrew @NISDSTEMLabs
