What is your #OneWord for 2025?

I’m leading the year with JOY. If it doesn’t bring joy to my life, I’m not doing it.
Thank you, @drsonaledu.bsky.social, @suethotz.bsky.social @mrdalcala.bsky.social & @mrslmunoz.bsky.social for bringing joy to my day!

Christmas Eve game night was almost ruined this year because everyone forgot to bring dice! But in a true MacGyver moment, I pulled two micro:bits from my purse (yes, I do carry micro:bits in my purse), I quickly programmed two dice on my phone, and saved the day. The family was blown away!

I’m like a kid in a candy store when 3D print designs turn out beautifully after a few iterations of course. There’s nothing quite like seeing your ideas come to life layer by layer. #3DPrinting #MakerMindset @bambulabglobal.bsky.social

Anyone who knows me knows I love plants. Just watched this beautiful bloom unfold on my desk, and it made me feel so at peace. Nature’s little reminders to slow down and appreciate the moment. 🌿#PlantLover

Our department just got a new 3D printer, and it’s a game changer! This @bambulabglobal.bsky.social is hands down one of the best I’ve ever used. It’s fast, efficient, and can handle multiple filaments seamlessly. I’m in love! ❤️Absolutely next level! @doctorstem.bsky.social
