11222103 Order of Draw Nail Salon (Now with Henna, too!)

Today was a really fun day to end the week with! Simone brought breakfast for the whole class and we reviewed our order of draw by opening our in-class nail salon. One enterprising student (thank you Vilena!) had the idea to introduce henna hand/arm designs into the mix, so some students were sporting order of draw nails and henna!
It was a great day and I think some students even learned the order of draw while having a great time!

11202013 Lab Activities

Today, we had a sort of "open lab" day. Industrious students were able to get as many as five draws!
We also saw several students earn their "500 μL" badges, our first "Teachable Moment" badge and a number of "Order of Draw" badges.
We will be coming up on the "25th Draw" badges soon as a class. Of course, if you were someone that drew five others today, you will be there pretty darn quick! Tomorrow, I hope to capture more of you on video. All in all, today was a super busy day...
