Take Apart Day, Trenton Public Schools Meeting, and Upcoming Board of Education Meeting

Happy 2017 Everyone!

Apologies for not posting in a while. A few weeks ago, the Maker Ambassadors had their annual Take Apart Day. On this day, we took apart numerous electronics, ranging from heaters, to PCs, to digital clocks! We had a lot fun meticulously unscrewing and jacking open the electronics. We also learned a lot about how the machines work and how their individual parts allowed them to function as a whole.




















We also met teachers from the Trenton Public Schools District a little while after Take Apart Day. CMS NüYü, a Community Problem Solving group that's using mindfulness to tackle stress in our local area, was also there to give an overview of they were doing. We, as Maker Ambassadors, really got to showcase our accomplishments and the powerful message that we're spreading: to empower students to use empathy to solve meaningful design thinking problems. Apologies for no pictures currently. I will post them soon. 


Here are some additional photos from EdCamp from a while ago: 

















Stay tuned, as we will have a meeting on the 21st with our local Board of Education. We will be presenting what we do as Maker Ambassadors and our message as well! We will post soon after the meeting.
