Officially graduated from @austinpeay with my doctorate in Educational Leadership. This journey taught me persistence, the importance of asking good questions, & the most honest answer in research and life: “it depends.” #EdD #FirstGen #STEMEducation #socioscientificissues

This is why early STEM matters.

@theTSIN’s K–2 Nuclear Energy Training is now accepting applications, connecting students to real-world energy + future careers starting in elementary school.

New age nuclear is here! The first-of-its-kind small modular reactor being built here in the United States — in Clinch River, TN — will allow unparalleled progress in energy and nuclear for the next generations.

STEM isn’t a side initiative - it’s economic strategy.

Good to see @Battelle called out in this conversation. Ohio’s future depends on how well we connect classrooms to careers. @OSLN is doing exactly that.

Strong #CS leadership doesn’t happen by accident, it takes vision, persistence, and commitment. Thomas Fuhrman shows what’s possible when leaders champion high-quality CS, build educator capacity, and keep future readiness front and center. @cumberland_tn

[Tennessee STEM Innovation Network @theTSIN]

We believe it’s critical to recognize the work educators are doing to strengthen #Tennessee’s role as a leader in #CS education. That’s why we were thrilled to recognize Thomas Fuhrman as the recipient of the Excellence in Computer Science Award, during this year’s CSME!

We’re excited to be in Chattanooga this week exhibiting at @TN_TETA connecting with educators from across TN! There’s no better way to gear up for National #CSEdWeek than learning directly from the incredible practitioners who make #CS come alive in classrooms every day. #TETC

[Tennessee STEM Innovation Network @theTSIN]

We loved hosting @RepMarkWhiteTN at East T-STEM High School today! Students showed how STEM learning builds real workforce skills: transportation, problem-solving, collaboration, tech fluency, & the confidence to tackle big challenges. @MSCSK12 @TNedu

[Brandi Stroecker @STEMignites]

We are excited for the long-term workforce impact of leading the rollout of the Powering Our Town K–2 nuclear curriculum in partnership with @UTK, @NAYGN, and @TNECD. Proud of this team. Proud of this impact. Proud of what comes next.

[Tennessee STEM Innovation Network @theTSIN]

Proud that our team is leading the statewide rollout of the K–2 nuclear curriculum with @UTKnoxville, @NAYGN & @TNECD.

TN leads in nuclear innovation - & now our youngest learners do too.
