This weekend we had an empowering Cohort Mini-Conference! Thank you to all who participated and a special shoutout to Alexandria Paley who challenged teachers to find a phenomenon that is great for engaged learning.

Katherine Kelly, professional engineer, and underwater diving inspector, is seen here as she inspects the piers of the structure of Walkway Over the Hudson. Katie and her dive team have inspected NYS Bridge Authority spans, including most recently, the MHB. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Katie Kelly, who was highlighted in the last post, will be the keynote speaker for the NYS Master Teacher Program event Girls Rock STEM, at Kingston High School on March 23. She will also participate in a STEM field workshop for Master Teachers at the Bear Mountain Bridge on May 4. #WomenInSTEM

Reminder today for our Master Teachers @ 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. that there is a mini-course focusing on making meaningful connections using astronomy in the classroom!
