Collaborative teams of middle-school educators will develop STEM modules to be implemented in their schools. This experience gave me a chance to introduce myself and foster teamwork with science and math teachers from the site I will be doing my administrative internship next year. School-based teams experienced methods to empower teachers and students, examined the importance of identity and community, demonstrated the significance of being able to step outside of your comfort zone, discovered tools to teach in a new culture of learning and explored hands-on applications in STEM education.
