3D Printing Project! Next week at my school is homecoming! And to kick it off, we have our staff homecoming skit which was "Wild West" themed. So everyone came to school decked in their cowboy gear, with boots, hats, and bandanas.  I, unfortunately, do not have a spare cowboy hat lying around, but I still wanted to wear something fun and cowboy-themed to school, so I decided to create a fun Sheriff Star with my name on it.

An absolutely amazing experience  I just got the amazing opportunity to teach kids aged 5 to 12 coding at LinkenIN's super fun Inday Event.  Though I was slightly nervous at first, the moment I got up there and started, I felt so awesome! I was so glad that the kids found coding as fun and interesting as I did.  It was so incredible speaking in front of so many people. The kids were all really engaged and came up with smart, thought-provoking questions.  As a bonus, LinkedIn also gave me a whole bunch of cool swag for coming in to teach! I'm so incredibly grateful that I got this wonderful opportunity to share my knowledge and passion with so many other people. I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did!
