Josh’s project will be an interactive webinar series focused on greening STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The environment is a compelling context for teaching STEM as it provides teachers with a diverse range of real-world challenges that engage students in hands-on opportunities to apply and reinforce STEM concepts across multiple subject areas. Each broadcast in this series will be interactive, engaging, target both formal and informal educators, and will include a downloadable resource.
