PhD student Yume Menghe Xu presented a poster about her research at Malden High School community garden with teacher Ashley Freeman at the Constructionism 2023 Conference in NYC.

It was so much fun talking about Malden Youth Community Garden! Many folks expressed their interest in building a community garden with youth. #FLC2023

The empowerment of young makers is simply incredible! It is necessary to empower our students by giving them space to reflect and act creatively in the face of problems that affect our society. #FLC2023 #Fablearn2023 #teacherscollege

Met so many wonderful makers from around the world at our Fab Learn Andrea Mayr-Stalder (@[email protected]) workshop! The youth teachers we brought from Boston to NYC were amazing mentors!

Of course Cynthia Solomon inspired all, too!

After flashing my MS-DOS wallpaper to everyone at #flc2023 , I am happy to find some retro computing artifacts during the art excursion to the MoMA. 😊 Oh and tangible interfaces. I also love those.
