This week on The Nailed It Wall Miss Scofield and Mr. Lane the STEM Guy bring back Mr. Humphrey by popular demand to talk all things a video game. Listen to the impact of EA Sports College Football returning has meant to two friends working in education. There was a trophy ceremony, speeches and families in attendance. to witness it all. EA Sports 25 returned with a bang and it truly had a lasting impact on two educators who view it as much more than a game even though EA Sports says "It's In the Game.". So the next time you question adults playing a kids game take a listen and let us know if you still think adults should be able to play video games. Some might call this pod a hail mary, a hot route, an audible at the line or maybe the just purest thing since Carl and Ellie Fredricksen said "I do."

This week on the Nailed It Wall Miss Scofield and Mr. Lane the STEM Guy talk to their good friend Mr. Brett Humphrey. He joins the pod to snap another long hiautus. Mr. Humphrey aka Radial Bone sits down to drop some knowledge about admin life, teacher life and what how he hopes to inspire the community he serves alongside his amazing staff!!! The Nailed It Wall is back again. I know you have all heard that before (broken record playing)... teaching is a different beast and it takes a lot of time. Our hope is to get back into churning (Wisconsin reference) an episode a week. You are going to love listening to Radial Bone's sage wisdom about life. Our challenge for you is to count how many analogies he makes in a single pod.

Mechanical engineering sophomore Eliana Floyd grew up watching racing with her dad. She's been into cars for as long as she can remember. So, for her, just standing in pit lane would have made the hours in the Makerspace designing, cutting and clamping panels, bleeding brakes and slapping duct tape on the frame worth it. But to actually win a race — a national championship — at Talladega? That was more electric than the car itself.

In Folge #81 des Originalteile-Podcasts treffe ich Michael »Gino« Ingino – einen Mann, der Hip-Hop Fashion lebt und atmet. Aufgewachsen als Sohn eines GI und einer Heilbronnerin, war Gino schon als Kind fasziniert von den frischen Styles der US-Soldaten in den US-Kasernen. Gino nimmt uns mit auf seine Reise: Vom ersten Kangol-Hut bis zur spektakulären Custom-Made MCM Dapper Dan Jacke, die er extra für die aktuelle Ausstellung »Stories of Hip Hop« im Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim anfertigen ließ. Er erzählt, wie er über 25 Jahre lang vintage Pieces aus den 80ern sammelte – von Run DMC Trainingsanzügen bis zu original Breakdance-Klamotten aus dem Film »Beat Street«. Besonders spannend: Wie Gino seine Instagram-Sammlung »Oldschool Hip Hop Fashion« aufbaute, im Makerspace der Experimenta fotografierte und schließlich zum Kurator einer Museumsausstellung wurde. Wir sprechen über die Heilbronner Hip-Hop Szene der 90er, über Dapper Dan's revolutionäre Luxury-Bootlegs aus Harlem und warum Fashion im Hip-Hop viel mehr ist als nur Klamotten – es ist Statement, Haltung und Erkennungszeichen. Eine Folge über Leidenschaft, Authentizität und die Kraft von Jugendkultur – erzählt von einem, der weiß, wovon er spricht.

Jenny Young spent a great deal of time building with her father in their family's garage when she was growing up. She learned how familiar things worked by taking them apart, and how to put them back together in new combinations. It was this hands-on building experience that stayed with Jenny and ultimately sparked the idea for Brooklyn Robot Foundry.After getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Jenny worked in various areas of design, manufacturing, supply chain management and software development. It was when she was working in education technology that Jenny saw an overwhelming need for more open-ended, hands-on learning for elementary school students. Between reduced school budgets, overcrowding, and standardized testing, students were no longer getting an immersive engineering education.In 2011, Jenny launched Brooklyn Robot Foundry at the New York City Maker Faire. The unique approach would combine kid-friendly projects with room for experimentation and creative design, resulting in working robots and elated, children.Founded in 2011 and with four locations open currently, the brand focuses on sharing the fun of STEAM education with children everywhere, inspiring them to continue a life full of exploration, problem-solving, and imagination. They do this by offering fun, creative and educational classes, parties, camps and field trips to children 2-14 years old.Their signature designs and building methods allow children to build on their own, resulting not only in a cool robot but also in increased confidence. They provide the guidelines for each day's robots, but the final design is up to the student, offering a variety of programs, ranging in commitment from a single class to an entire semester.Connect with Jenny & The Brooklyn Robot Foundry:Website: brooklynrobotfoundry.comFacebook: @robotfoundryInstagram: @robotfoundryChris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...

Makerspaces offer support and encouragement for educators who want to incorporate art into the curriculum. Colleen's guest is Dr. Erin Beard, the Programs Director for Talent Maker City, who describes a makerspace as a community learning lab that furnishes materials and equipment in arts and technology to make learning a hands-on experience. Imagine a place with a 3D printer, a wood-working shop, a ceramics studio, and people to help you use them all.  With twenty previous years of experience as a middle and high school teacher, Dr. Beard emphasizes the importance of STEAM-based adventures (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) to guide student inquiry and critical thinking. She offers several suggestions for using all forms of art to revive the inherent love of learning that may have been shut down through traditional methods.  Educators are encouraged to find a nearby makerspace for learning opportunities, use of equipment, and advice for adding a tactile dimension to their teaching. In a makerspace they will find camaraderie and shared knowledge to turn their ideas for the classroom into reality.    Resources -  Talent Maker City What is a Makerspace and where is one near me?   OEA Grow is a proud member of the Labor Radio Podcast Network
