?? Reflecting on 2024: Empowering Educators in STEM ?? What a year it's been! We've had the privilege of hosting incredible professional development sessions, from exploring Earth's secrets with radiometric dating to creating space-themed games in Python and Scratch. Whether diving into spectroscopy, landing on the moon virtually, or learning to maximize classroom resources, these sessions have helped educators bring STEM alive for their students. ??

What’s up with K-12 Outreach? Wow #AGU24! We came to Washington DC hoping to add to our STEM Career Repository, unsure how many STEM professionals might be willing to share their stories with us. We had NO IDEA how many people would be eager to share about their careers! Our goal for AGU is to connect with 100 STEM professionals and record their stories to grow the STEM Career Repository. After Day 2, we are already over 60% of the way toward reaching that goal! If you are here in Washington DC, come find us at the Purdue EAPS booth. If you aren't able to be here this week and want to contribute your own STEM Career video, check out the link to our STEM Careers Repository landing page on Linktree. #BoilerUp!
