May 19th-May 23rd

Food for thought...
Saturday I attended the Maker Faire in San Mateo. I really had no idea what to expect but was looking for some inspiration for Genius Hour projects and getting kids started making and creating. I wish I'd had Joe Wood or Tracy Chatters with me to process some of the things I saw! There were kids making an octopus out of two gloves, and rockets made with masking tape (one narrowly missed hitting me in the head!) Some of the things were junk creations and others involved robotics. It was an amazing day- all except the part where I took my pictures AND videos in portrait. {Insert forehead slap here!} Here are a few videos from my day...

Things I loved around here:
Congratulations on a fabulous open house! Here's a little video I made with pictures and WeVideo.
