We are excited to share the first paper that features GEM-STEP, exploring how we designed for sequences of embodied activity.

So excited to be working with kids in a classroom again! First week in and 5th graders are very into being fish and programming their movement. Looking forward to sharing more about hybrid embodied computational models! @step_prjct #embodied_learning #science_modeling

Gearing up for some more data collection!! Some sneak peeks of the new GEM-STEP and GEM-SCRIPT!! [ALT: 1st image is an aquatic ecosystem with fish, algae, and the sun, and graphs to help learners see how energy is lost as it flows between them. 2nd image is GEM-SCRIPT code.]

Really pushed my ability to “rapidly iterate” 🤯 what started out as a 4-day unit on dinosaurs quickly turned into a hodgepodge of bees, dinos, astronauts, and magical creature-themed activities! What a rush! ✨
The next iteration of STEP, GEM-STEP is shaping up to have a pretty powerful scripting language!! @_moravick has been building games with bees, dinosaurs, and now astronauts for some very excited summer camp attendees!!

It was an absolute privilege to share the first iteration of my framework for inclusive embodied learning space design last night 🙆🏻♀️ While we have a ways to go, the overwhelmingly positive response to my work gives me faith that we are moving in the right direction! #ISLS2022 ✨

We have just created a brand new website, which we plan to keep up to date with some exciting new work around our own modeling environment (GEM-STEP), innovations in AI, and more!!

We are going to try and revitalize this account, focused on embodiment, play, and the STEP project in particular. What would you like to see us tweet about it?

'Lock' for iPad is vital design feature for PLAE - teachers can redirect student attn away from iPad and unlock annotation tools when needed

Had an interesting question raised in team meeting: When are iPads supporting learning vs. becoming a distraction for students? -MH

PLAE is STEP + Annotations (via iPads). Lots of great stuff!

Our new website is now live! Check it out: https://t.co/mbrKJLQIta (note the two t’s … step is apparently popular in urls)

And of course, the first STEP paper is a great place to see the beginning of our current design thinking!
