My 1st session is with @RootsforASTEM about cultivating the past while growing the future for African American STEM learners!

Learning about gaps that educators can bridge to serve their learners! @PrincipalKafele

@WakeHistory @antoinette_ed wish you were here!

[Jennifer Burgin NBCT @MrsJBurgin]

Yassss! @RootsforASTEM showed us a clip from #IronMan where Tony Stark goes through the Engineering Design Process! It is important to show role models who look like students as well as bringing in their interests, like @Avengers!

If you don’t embrace the methods, tools, & discoveries of science, your obvious next step is to dispose of your cell phone.
