I often optimize my paper circuits for different age groups and time frames. The Book Lamp Workshop is especially versatile with its three different switching options.

A proud moment for ARISS! ARISS representatives Frank Bauer and Jackie Blumer accepted the Challenger-7 Recognition from Challenger Center's Mike Kincaid during the organization's 40th Anniversary celebration. Thank you for this honor and for supporting STEM inspiration worldwide. #ARISS #ChallengerCenter #STEMEducation

🦟 Canadian scientists pooled and re-analysed the data from 11 previous studies on links between pesticide exposure (including herbicides and insecticides) and motor neuron disease, finding that exposure was linked to a 60-70% increase in the risk of men developing the most common form, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The team says that, compared with no exposure, exposure to herbicides was linked to a 70% increase in a man's risk of developing the disease, and exposure to either insecticides or fungicides was linked with a 60% increase in risk. Interestingly, the researchers point out that there was no increased risk seen in women. It's important to note, the authors say, that this kind of study is limited by the quality of the original studies it is based on, and does not prove the pesticides caused the disease, just that the two may be linked.

Australian scientists from The University of Queensland, RMIT University, University of Sydney and Adelaide University have offered commentary on the research.

I made a canard using my 3D pen on tissue paper technique. Canards have a small foreplane instead of a tailplane. The main wing is at the far back with a vertical stabilizer at the end. The foreplane is great for trimming the flight. It is a bit easier to trim since the center of mass is between the two wings. A regular wing configuration needs nose weight for a propper flight.
But I am still experimenting and learning!

Mathematics is the canary in the coal mine of any education system: It's a delicate pyramid that crumbles if the base is not strong.

Using IMO results, here are the countries that improved most from 2006 to 2026 and those that declined the most. Using rank percentile within each year’s field:

Most improved
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: 2.2% → 69.8% (+67.6pp)
🇲🇾 Malaysia: 22.5% → 83.6% (+61.1pp)
🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan: 14.6% → 70.7% (+56.1pp)
🇧🇩 Bangladesh: 11.2% → 67.2% (+56.0pp)
🇮🇳 India: 61.8% → 94.8% (+33.0pp)

Biggest declines
🇲🇩 Moldova: 91.0% → 55.2% (−35.8pp)
🇮🇹 Italy: 87.6% → 68.1% (−19.5pp)
🇫🇮 Finland: 57.3% → 39.7% (−17.6pp)
🇩🇪 Germany: 96.6% → 83.6% (−13.0pp)
🇹🇼 Taiwan: 89.9% → 80.2% (−9.7pp)

I was out at a tech meetup last week when I mentioned I was going to a conference on stats education this week. “Sounds riveting” said someone, with the deepest sarcasm. The thing is, stats are riveting. Stats are powerful. If we’re not showing kids the magic of it all, how can we expect them to love it like we do?

This is probably the coolest DIY robot you can make by simply connecting a motor to a battery. No sensors, no Arduino, no soldering, no coding, etc.—just pure mechanics made from cardboard. I use this DIY project to teach kids the creative use of technology.

Trenino STEM pensato, progetto, creato da una mia studentessa (alla faccia che l'ingegneria è roba per maschiacci).
Lei ha fatto tutto con tubi di plastica ma, se siete poveri, potete usare un rotolo per la carta da cucina e due rotoli di carta igienica.

The Impact of Active Learning on Student Course Performance in STEM Varies by Type and Intensity: A Meta-Analysis https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/16/7/1044
"active learning’s impact on low-income and underrepresented minority students showed that achievement gaps in both exam scores and failure rates only closed in course designs where more than 66% of class time was spent in active learning"

Noether’s Theorem: Symmetry→Conservation Law.

Symmetries of the action imply conserved quantities per Noether's theorem.

A path q(t) is shifted by δq = φ but smoothed in transition layers τ wide at t0 and t1, where Δq̇ ≈ φ/τ. Action changes there approximate ΔS ≈ (∂L/∂q̇) Δq̇ τ ≈ −(∂L/∂q̇ φ)(t1) and ≈ +(∂L/∂q̇ φ)(t0).
Symmetry sets total ΔS = 0, hence (∂L/∂q̇ φ) is conserved from t0 to t1.

Momentum conservation's derivation from space translation symmetry and energy conservation from time translation symmetry in mechanics and physics is done by it.
