In the polymer lab there are prototypes of cardboard rocking chairs! Grateful to scientists sharing their passion with young STEM learners from @STEAMemphis @FromCBU #NationalSTEMDay @theTSIN what future will these 7th graders design?! We’ll all have to live there!

Impromptu Q&A with principal A Demster “what makes us special is not just that they do STEM, PBLs, design process but they are led thru reflection on what works best for them as a learner”. Equity is also about self-awareness @theTSIN @STEAMemphis

[Tennessee STEM Innovation Network @theTSIN]

“My biggest tip for school leaders pursuing STEM designation is to analyze design thinking processes and find opportunities to embed them naturally. Make it your own. Be flexible with your vision.” - @STEAMemphis principal @mdemster.

I love 901! @CollegeGameDay @MemphisFB
