Teachers are on the front lines of education… we need support, ideas, confidence, and encouragement to build STEM into our classrooms & school culture. But too often, STEM can feel overwhelming. That’s where I can help! Adding STEM to a classroom doesn’t need to be expensive, boring, or complicated. Educators just need simple but practical tools & ideas for adding STEM to their everyday classroom. I’ve spent 25 years building STEM learning into my own classroom, & my students love it! I’ve shared these ideas at conferences, professional development days, & on my podcast & YouTube. I’ve even written a book about STEM to help educators build a STEM culture in their classrooms & communities! I’d love to help at your conference, school, or organization. Any questions?

I know what its like to sit through boring professional development, so I don’t do boring. I’ve been a radio DJ and podcaster, so I know how to adjust on the fly & keep things flowing smoothly. I’ve been a math & science teacher, so I know the importance of making things relevant & exciting. I’ve taught elementary kids up to high school kids, so I know the challenges that different grade level teachers face. I’ve worked closely with special education teachers, so I know that some kids need a different approach. And I’ve always worked with a limited budget, so my ideas are simple, easy, & usually free. Are you ready to build a STEM culture? Contact me at dailystem@gmail.com for more info
