Barefoot Computing

Congratulations goes out to Janice Beitzel, DHH teacher at Warwick HS, who just received a shipment of HESS Trucks and instructional materials to create neat STEM lessons in her classroom. Thank you Beth Gainer for sharing the contest with me so I could post it in my November 11th Blog!!! See how important it is to read my Blog Posts! Free stuff is great!!!

What does Derick Tilburg, Amy Kurtz, and Michelle Weisman all have in common? Each of them have been a winner in our 2022-2023 Blog Contest! All they did to be eligible was send in a picture or pictures of students engaged in a STEM activity. We do the rest! We write up a message and post on Twitter and Facebook to share out to IU13 staff, districts and anyone that follows us @STEMatIU13. What a great way to recognize your students for their hard work and earn a book of your choice with supporting lessons from our very own Giovanna Chamberlain. Send in those pictures! We cannot wait.

Giovanna and I have been doing some packing of our materials and moving to our new location at Burle. We will have an official STEM classroom and Maker Space area for classes to come and next year our IU13 staff and teachers can sign out and use. Why not spice up the year with a fun, structured, field trip to our very own IU13 Burle Building. Sign out our vans and bring the students over. Why not even support the IU13 Student Cafe by coming on a Tuesday, Thursday or the 3rd Wednesday of the month and add lunch. We have three lessons that we have created, but if these would not suit your students please connect with us and we can alter them or provide another lesson. If coming to Burle is too much, we can coordinate and come to you. Try it out- like Mikey you and your students might like it!!!
