“You think your classroom is safe because YOU feel safe.” One of many powerful takeaways this morning at STEMpact discussing cultural consciousness and equity with Billie and Phil of Educational Equity Consultants

The best way to do PD! I acknowledge my go-cart was going “a bit” slow. The 1st place racer only lapped me 6 times . 🤣 I did have a Charley horse though. I swear! 😂 #stempactstl #pdforthewin #summerlearinhadmeablast #teachertwitter STEMpact

Our Mehlville School District middle school STEMTQ group had a blast talking about Newton's second law of motion at the race track today. And of course testing it out on the track! STEMpact #RealWorldLearning

Another day, another field trip at STEMpact ! We determined the bank/ stream erosion at Castlewood State Park. Highlight- seeing the otters play! 🦦 The sessions we have on campus are just as amazing! All 📸 credit goes to: Susan Adams, EdD

A beloved grade school tradition — the field trip — is a key part of #STEMTQ. Today, a group of teachers explored Castlewood State Park to learn about stream bank erosion.

I’m not prone to hyperbole (well not serious hyperbole), but attending #STEMTQ a few years back was a career-altering game changer for me. Educators - If you ever have a chance to go to this, go!

Oh no, a storm is coming! Using supplies inside your backpack build an emergency storm shelter. So many great designs - as we closed out the 1st week of our #STEMTQ summer institute with this fun shelter challenge.

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... STEMitize! #STEMTQ

Another day, another Science and STEM learning experience with STEMpact

They problem solved. They read and engineered. They reflected and became more #STEMcapable! Today, the participants of #STEMTQ closed out the 2-week summer institute with a fun game of Minute To Win It!

I spy #STEMTQ participants!
