The school year may be over, the classrooms cleaned out, the hallways empty...but school janitors are still hard at work.

Relive the Main Stage! Capt. Barrington Irving, the first black man to fly solo around the world, told an audience of 600+ STEM leaders that educators must not tell students what they need or have to learn. Instead, they have to show them. @Captainirving https://t.co/VPpQdCCy0Z
