Happy 2016! I decided to disconnect over the holiday break to spend time with family and friends, but now I’m back and catching up. I did have some Maker fun over the break as well – I spent a day at Maker Depot running a STEM Challenge day for their Winter Camp, and I spent the last day of break up there as well learning how to use the laser engraver. In the STEM lab, we’re gearing up for a new unit on the design process, and there will be a post about that soon!
