We’ve been dusting off some of our SASSAk12 learning activities and giving them a fresh, new, bold and beautiful look as we also start to develop some brand new activities. Our mission? Make these all available to you, of course! Help us bring hands-on learning to you! 🔗 sassak12.org/donate

We had a blast at Twin Cities STEM Fest! Big thanks to AISOS Lab for inviting us to co-host hands-on stations showcasing archaeology, 3D scanning, and AMAAZE research. Science thrives in community.

We don’t believe curiosity killed the cat. We believe it made them experts in sunlight, cardboard boxes, and interrupting research.

Happy #NationalKittenDay from all of us at #SASSAk12. Show us your curious companions. We’ll go first. Board member, Ivy, is this sweet kitten's Mom!

#ConservationMonth Jeffers Petroglyphs in SW Minnesota features 5,000+ carvings, some over 7,000 years old. A living site, not just a historic one. It still holds deep meaning for many Native communities.

Fun fact: The National Register of Historic Places, managed by the National Park Service, is part of a national program that helps preserve America’s historic and archaeological resources and chosen from recommendations by State and Tribal Historic Preservation Officers.

Historic preservationists evaluate and restore places with cultural/historical value. Women have been part of this work. Pictured: A. P. Cunningham founded America’s 1st preservation society (1853). Board member, Ivy, documents historic (1939) fireplace in Anoka, MN. #PreservationMonth #SASSAk12

Sunday was Queer Science Day. So grateful to Queer Science for welcoming us into such a joyful, curious, and collaborative space. We loved sharing archaeology activities that sparked big conversations with insightful youth about identity and power. Science belongs to everyone.

Every bit of news I hear these days makes me want to read Guillotine by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social over and over again.

You had different dreams for yourself than having to meet this shit historical moment.

I did too. I did too.

@gordonramseychef.bsky.social Just finished MasterChef Junior Season 9 and I think we need a spin-off, the Adventures of Gordon and Alfred

@gttupod.bsky.social Just started listening and weird fact: when you were talking about the bumps in the road keeping horse carriages from sliding and said you wouldn't put Icy Hot on horses...my childhood neighbor invented the formula for Icy Hot and it was originally for use on racehorses.

@iwriteok.bsky.social This world would be a better place if more people had watched Seaquest DSV.

@delilahsdawson.bsky.social And this is why people become archaeologists. #booksky #IWOHFAM

@iwriteok.bsky.social Every time you quote an Anderson, I choose to believe you are citing one of the many works by that most imminent scholar, Sophie's dog.

I hear that it's important to set life goals. Mine? Befriend an opossum.

@delilahsdawson.bsky.social Picked up IWOHFAM and I'm just about to dive in, but I've got to ask, will you share your secret for taking an awesome author photo?
