Friday November 8, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am MST

My hope is to inspire other teachers to start their STEAM journey. Whether it's incorporating coding or design challenges into your classroom, starting a STEAM option, or launching a steam club, there will be something for everyone. I will share my best practices as well as resources from myself and other teachers who have inspired me along the way
