#askNASA What are the mountains on Mars made of? (Mrs. Fuch's 6th gr. class)

#askNASA Is it possible to dig deeper and find more elements?

Mrs. Fuch's 6th gr. science class took part in the Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT) Program via the internet. Students plotted data and made made calculations that allowed them to control a 34-meter decommissioned NASA radio antenna.

Real- world problem solving built into a playlist in Mr. Caviness's 8th gr. Math class. Students work together to calculate how much soil is needed so Mrs. Reisman's class can start on their science gardening project.

What if all teachers helped students figure out how they learned best? We certainly would have a nation of high achieving students. #lcpsifts #lcps18

RBM students collaborate to create their first video game with Bloxels during Makerspace time.

As a kick off to Hour of Code week, Neustar employees Padma Chitrapu, Sieg Gooding, and Enrique Somoza, provide Mrs. Ales's Coding class with an overview of JAVA and careers in the computer programming industry.

During Makerspace time, two RBM students control a digital piano keyboard with celery sticks and bananas which they built with a Makey-Makey electronic invention kit.

Today was the grand opening for Makerspaces in the RBM library. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities through their Resource block. Makerspaces are the key to innovation!

Love this quote from the Innovator's Mindset, by George Couros: "Sometimes the most valuable thing you get from a network isn't an idea but the inspiration or courage to try something new." #innovatorsmindset
