Growth Mindset & Fixed Mindset

This is from the advisory class. We have advisory classes since fourth grade. My dad got really excited about our last week learning- Growth mindset vs Fixed mindset.

Growth mindset is about people who don' give up. Fixed mindset is about people who give up. The difference can be understood from this easy example.

Person 1 with fixed mindset - "I can't do this".
Person 2 with growth mindset- "I cant't do this yet".

With this one extra word yet it could make all the difference !!

Thomas Edison never gave up trying to make the light bulb glow.

Get Your Soap from Me

Something new this Spring break!!  My friend came over to our place with soap ingredients from Michaels. There was goat milk, 2 boxes of lavender incense, molds and food coloring. I would definitely use these... would you? 

MUSD 2022 STEAM Showcase

Today we displayed our projects to guests and judges. My booth was pretty busy. People were curious how to know how to build a heart-beat sensor using an Arduino and a Pulse Sensor!! The Assembly Member from Milpitas, Alex Lee, also came to see our projects. And so did the district director, Anurag Pal. We have the common last name ... and for that he gave me his business card :-) The MHS Science Olympiad team had a cool project ... a rubber band powered plane that keeps flying in circles ... and comes down as the rubber band unwinds. Its an example of potential energy getting converted to kinetic energy. Here is the video MUSD posted my project on their website. Here is the link
