Workshop Description: 

This fast paced 4-hour in-service workshop provided administrators and teachers of ALL grade levels and content areas an opportunity to explore how they can integrate STEM into their teaching. Much learning, collaboration and laughter occurred as participants explored the engineering design process, wrote stories and “played” with spaghetti, newspaper, play dough, puzzles and other household items.
