Spent the day with a recent kindergarten graduate and an almost one year old. The six year old wore a butterfly shirt. She was butterfly girl since we were constantly surrounded by butterflies. She was also fascinated with ladybugs, flowers, and the neighborhood dogs. We took many walks exploring new paths, picking flowers and petting friendly dogs. Butterfly girl found many ladybugs and insisted on taking them with us on our walk. She is showing her cousin the ladybug. After our walk we laid on a blanket outside looking at the field guide to insects and learned about all the different kinds of ladybugs while we watched them crawling up grass blades. I love days like this.

Almost two years ago, I took a photo of the entrance to the Children’s Museum, which was under construction when I lived in Santa Bárbara. This is what it looks like from the inside...
A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

No, this is not the Hard Rock symbol, but an interactive sound display at the MOXI Children’s Museum, which also teaches the kids the parts of a guitar.
Against one of the inside walls of the MOXI Children’s Museum, this interactive display did not have any explanatory text nearby, which did not keep kids from moving around anything movable...
This was a combination of two activities: (1) origami lesson as part of the unit study about Japan; and (2) holiday preparation for Valentine's Day.
The boats are made from pink paper, the sails are from wool felt, and the wood is a chopstick broken in half. They are filled with candy hearts for Valentine's Day.
Blogged here with a recipe for homemade candy hearts (very easy to make!): harvestmoonbyhand.blogspot.com/2011/02/homemade-candy-hea...
The youngest kids and their adult relatives wait patiently while the older siblings test out all the interactive games and displays at the MOXI Children’s Museum in Santa Bárbara.
In the background: the names of the museum donors turned into an interactive educational game...

Head, right, fit explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) protective equipment on a student during a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Week presentation at Bechtel Elementary School at Camp McTureous, Okinawa, Japan, April 2, 2016. STEM Week gave students hands-on learning opportunities about how science, technology, engineering and mathematics can be applied in everyday life as well as in future careers paths.

Complete Set of math gnomes. Helps teach the four basic processes. The story that we use really helps my daughters understand the difference between the different proceses (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
See my Flickr profile for the link to my Etsy shop. This set has sold, but I do custom orders. Contact me through Flickr or Etsy if you'd like a set of these math gnomes.

Cole Helsel, left, and Hunter Sagerer, both undergraduates in aerospace engineering, as they and three other teams prepare to launch one of four cubesats as part of AEROSP 495 and 740 classes at the Plumb Lake County Park near Sturgis, Michigan on Tuesday morning, December 6, 2022.
The goal of the courses is to give students the opportunity to design and build complex satellite-like flight vehicles. The high-altitude balloons, which are filled with helium, rise into the stratosphere emulating some key aspects of spaceflight. According to Graduate Student Instructor Gage Bergman, "The stratosphere is an extreme environment, it experiences vast temperature differences, and also requires students to develop robust and reliable systems because once a balloon is released, there is no way to retrieve it - just like actual spaceflight.” Bergman is a masters student in aerospace engineering.

This summer the HSU Art Department along with Extended Education is creating a summer arts program called North Coast Arts - An Intensive Studio Experience.
Tim Galmiche, left, a masters student in space engineering, and Rohan Madathil, a masters student in aerospace engineering, make last minute adjustments to their team cubesat before launch as part of James Cutler’s AEROSP 495 and 740 classes at the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Tuesday morning, December 6, 2022.
After final adjustments Cutler and his students drove to Plumb Lake County Park near Sturgis to launch the cubesats, which would then be carried in the stratosphere eastward to approximate just east of Tecumseh.
