18 months of the pandemic didn't kill the #inclusive spirit at @ODUVMASC. The kids did such a good job showing their caregivers what they had learned over the last four, that they may be running the next #STEAMclusive editions. I should start looking for a new job :D VMASC_STEM

Looking forward to seeing all the impact made during her PhD @ODU and assistantship at VMASC_STEM starting this fall!

We are very thankful to The Mariners’ Museum and Park for letting us be a part of the touch tour for the blind community. Our own Meaghan Mozingo and Hector Garcia created 3D models and other display aids that complemented the story about the evolution of boats and ships VMASC_STEM Virginia Modeling, Analysis, & Simulation Center

Hosting @VMASC_ODU faculty Dr Behr in the lab (w/snacks!) to share insights about grant writing. A 🔑 takeaway: don’t forget that at their core, grants are about and with people. Talk to people- get to know them and their needs. #itTakesAVillage #onTheShouldersOfGiants

Planting a little joy in a tiny #terrarium to wish our summer #nsffunded ODU CS REU students the best as they leave Storymodelers to return to their home universities. Scientists + 🪴 = 🥰 #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantlife #reu

Fantastic news! I'm excited to be part of both efforts.
