Excited to welcome @PBS/@NOVA's Ralph Bouquet to my STEM Learning course today! From teaching science in Philly to leading NOVA's education initiatives, Ralph shows how to make science accessible & engaging for all. Thank you for sharing your journey connecting science & society!

DeepSeek's 'aha moments'—recognizing when its thinking needs a reset—fascinate me. This self-reflection wasn't programmed but emerged naturally, hinting it might be fundamental to intelligence itself.

They’re all going to have a great time and learn a ton!!! 👏👏👏

Love watching future teachers discover science phenomena in their everyday lives through this @NGSSphenomena 15-day challenge. Science truly is everywhere! #ScienceEducation @BUWheelock

Excited to share Jennifer Cohen’s Sensemaking in STEM project! She created a children’s book that uses roller coasters 🎢 to explain gravitational illusions, making physics fun and relatable. Check it out: 📖 #STEMEducation #PhysicsForKids https://t.co/cmJV08Rqma

Hit the sheets and threw some stones tonight! My delivery was solid, but my draws didn’t find the house😔. They made me the skip and our team hurried hard - a bonspiel to remember! 🥌 #SWEEP #CurlingLife #HurryHard

Excited to share another incredible student project from Sensemaking in STEM! Iris Ren's beautiful visual exploration of computer graphics combines art and CS, using storytelling + illustration to make complex concepts feel accessible. This is what STEAM education should be!

Next up is Scarlett’s project from Sensemaking in STEM! As a @NEAQ interpreter, she created a stunning collage-based book on sustainable seafood. Her work is already a hit and I’ll be printing hard copies for the aquarium’s new reading corner! @BUWheelock

🌟 Excited to share Carolina’s project from Sensemaking in STEM! Her work on Sensemaking in High School Mathematics highlights innovative ways to engage students, connect abstract math to real-world contexts, and promote deeper understanding. 🔗

We’re excited to submit our proposal for the Massachusetts Science Performance Assessment (SPA) Ambassador Program! This $1.24M initiative aims to support educators with tools for equitable, high-quality science learning aligned with MA STE standards.

Excited to share a chapter I co-authored with Sarah Michaels in Contemporary Issues in Equity, Democracy, & Public Education! We reframe the "leaky pipeline," advocating sensemaking & equity to foster inclusion, diversity, & belonging in STEM classrooms.

Vermont trip…

Recently sent the manuscript for my book, Making Sense of Sensemaking: Designing Authentic K–12 STEM Learning Experiences, to Teachers College Press! Years in the making, shaped by many insights and countless conversations. Can’t wait to share it in a few months!

Wrapped up our Sensemaking today with water gels! Also a touching note from a student I’ve worked with since 1st grade: "Thank you for letting me be my own scientist.." This is why we teach – to nurture curiosity and empower young minds.

Lindsay’s Legacy Foundation is proud to donate $25,000 to @SmilowCancer Center, bringing our total contributions to over $100,000. We also created craft kits for patients facing extended stays. Thank you to our community for helping us bring hope and support to those in need.

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: https://t.co/xtOAX8sof0
