I got all these ideas from other educators on social media. In this episode, I take time to reflect on these three projects. I talk specifically about:
- how I had students create a TikTok as their final math summative grade
- my rubric for the TikTok project
- reflections on what I would do differently with the TikTok project if I did it again
- how I introduced the Rube Goldberg project for my robotics class
- how I incorporated Minecraft in the planning process for their Rube Goldberg project
- how we utilized our Zoom class time during the week they were working on the Rube Goldberg machine
- how I structured the financial literacy project where students sold items on eBay
- how one student made over $300 when he did the eBay project
- a bonus 'virtual yearbook' project I did with my advisory students

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
