#PETEandC

Ordered 10 Climate Action Kits from @forwardedu.bsky.social Education using the STEMNext and Verizon grant money - icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-.... Looking forward to using them with my students. Our next story is Crossings and this activity may be the first use of the kits.

Here are the most recent modules in Smart Farming from @forwardedu.bsky.social that I have tried. I can't wait to get enough kits to share these learning experiences with my designers. I love how this connects my #micro:bits with #SDGs. I included a picture of me with some of the team at #FETC.

A Few #FETC 2025 highlights:

#1: 🏆 Connecting with talented, inspiring and passionate educators from all over!
#2: ♻️ Testing out a more eco-friendly booth by scaling down & reducing emissions/waste (and check out our cool -reusable- cardboard furniture)!
#3: 🎁Gifting over 50 Climate Action Kits!

If You Give a Teacher a Forward Education Climate Action Kit If you give a teacher a Forward Education Climate Action Kit for the night, she will want more.   ​

While attending #FETC2025, I was able to dive into the Climate Action Kit by @forwardedu.bsky.social Forward Education. Here is the first reflection about the kit and an overview of the product. icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-...

And just like that… all of our new ocean-themed lessons are officially released! 🐋🐟🪸
