I convene diverse collaborations that involve leading educational researchers, scientists, district leaders, principals, teachers, students, and designers so that we rally around a common 'problem of practice' in STEM education and work together in bringing the varied expertise to the table in solving the problem.
Anywhere I see children learning about STEM. This can be in or outside of the classroom.
I want to see a closer collaborations between schools/school districts with the wealth of STEM resources available at large to promote scalable and sustainable improvement in STEM K-16 school system.
