A child was having a hard day yesterday at the school I visited, so the principal asked if I could help her do a STEM challenge…
So we tried some KEVA planks & she figured it out
And when I saw her later in the day, she was all smiles & asked “when can we do another challenge?”
And if you’re wondering, the challenge card is from this set of Brain Builders from @KEVAplanks (there’s also a Jr edition for younger kids to build)

My students were practically fighting over my couple Rubik’s cubes in my classroom, so I found a 3x3 & two 2x2 on eBay for under $10 total.
Met a teacher yesterday who expanded his class reading Lord of the Flies by adding a variety of hands on projects (including making parts of the island)
It was a great way to incorporate some social studies & science standards
Numbers & data:
Q3 2026 highlights:
- Delivered revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year-over-year
- Successfully launched our first revenue-generating Starship mission, delivering 26 Starlink V3 satellites to our broadband constellation, representing approximately 10x the downlink capacity added by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch
- Added $6.7 billion of incremental Super Intelligence solutions and infrastructure revenue year-over-year, driven by cloud services agreements, the acquisition of Cursor, and our growing SI models and software applications, including @Grok @Bot
- Delivered year-over-year revenue growth of 69% and income from operations growth of 99% for the Connectivity segment, supported by strong momentum in enterprise and government adoption, and continued @Starlink consumer subscriber growth
- Continued to scale nameplate compute, reaching 1.7 GW as of September 30, 2026

It's been a busy week already, is it only Tuesday! 😮
The year 5/6 class at Othery Primary created these little individual astronauts. Lots of lovely inventive, imaginative ideas.
So, two days done, every kid involved, Reception to Year 6. Off to the next school tomorrow. 😁

Okay, how is this the first time I’ve seen this idea…
The multiples of a number written on a number!
Great example of design thinking and creativity…
Someone saw the Pro football Hall of Fame and thought “that looks like a citrus fruit juicer” and decided to make that happen.
Saw the new Alton Brown tour show…
Like previous tours and his work on TV, lots of humor & stories….
And I’m a math and science teacher, lots of great ideas for food science.
See it for yourself!
Hey teachers, it’s a new week…
New opportunities for you and your students to build skills & confidence.

The best part? Parents who got to hold in their hand a 3d printed cookie cutter they designed all by themselves!
STEM is rocket science & flying cars, but parents need to know how easy it is to get started & help their own kids be better at STEM!
Wow!
