Inertia, a property of matter: an object in motion will STAY in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. In other words, our eggstranaut’s brain (yolk) kept moving even after the shell stopped, until it hit the ground. 🍳

These students are *measuring up* to 5th grade standards one centimeter at a time! 📏✨

Wow wow wow! 🤩 We had the honor of hosting a phenomenal female STEM professionals panel at STARBASE a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Daniela, our superstar lead teacher for organizing!) and it was a great success! We learned so much! 💪

If you want to attend a similar panel, it’s attached to a FREE 🤑 professional development on the new technology applications TEKS- please DM this page for more info!

🌟 Kudos to Bad Wolf for an Out-of-This-World Summer! 🚀 🌟 This summer, thanks to Bad Wolf’s stellar coordination, the Austin Public Library hosted an amazing series of robotics classes. Our young explorers learned to code and control Mars rovers, navigating challenges with ease under her expert guidance. Bad Wolf, your passion and dedication made this mission a success. You’ve truly ‘rover’-achieved! Thank you for leading us on this incredible journey. 🌌

Summer time is more fun with friends than screens! Here’s a reminder to take a minute to disconnect this summer and play a game with friends or family! 📵☀️🕶️

We’ve been LOVING our summer events with - coding rovers on mars, meeting new friends, seeing returning friends, learning and playing with robots! 🦾

Come out and see us this month at the Austin Public Library! Find us on the APL website under Tween Events (ages 9-12) - See you there! 📚

COME SEE US TODAY!! 🎉
