Just, wow.
Twins! JPL's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on @NASAWebb revealed that one long-studied star is TWO, and disks of dust and gas encircle them. Because the stars' are just entering adulthood, it's possible planets are forming in those disks: https://t.co/B07YELlecu

Training AI models with @krswan at @PCInnoInstitute! I’m using this with my students! Trained a model to recognize a gesture and manipulate a servo to match it on a robot controlled by a microbit. #teachablemachines #machinelearning #pd4pc #makelearning

Great day with these two teams of eighth graders, they are ready to perform at their best. I’m excited to see how well they do over the next two days!
It’s a day of setting up the pit area, making adjustments, inspections, and practice for #PCRobotics teams 78338B (The Gummy Bears) and 78338C (Elmo Crusaders) at the #VEXIQ Middle School Robotics World Championships in Dallas. The teams are focused and ready!

Amazing view of @SpaceX #FalconHeavy from central Palm Beach County - could clearly see separation and much of the return of the boosters. The engines weren’t firing for much of the return, just sunlight shining on the boosters.

#GoArtemis! We had a great view from Lantana, Fl! Haven’t seen anything this big since the Shuttle program.

My goodness @altonbrown - your Reloaded Brownies are a marvel. I can only hope my teenage sons hate them and leave them for my wife and I.
