2014-Sep-STEMchat-with-TI

School has started, homework is flowing, and kids are learning. And this means that parents are doing homework too. What? I know it is not only me. My girls have just started 6th grade. One of the items listed on their school supplies list was a TI-34 scientific calculator.  I was excited that they would be able to use them. My graphing calculator was easily my favorite school supply. However, it looks like they will have to wait a while longer. So many students at the school had trouble getting the calculators that they took them off the list. That is sad, but unfortunately many students may go through similar.

Texas Instruments is now helping some families, and students by supplying a few TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition or TI-Nspire CX calculators for giveaway during our upcoming Twitter Party. And Kim over at The Maker Mom is also giving away a couple. And that’s not all. Read her blog for more information on how Texas Instruments is supplying a classroom full of calculators!
