>The� Telling Your Story� program aims to form collaborations resulting in
>classroom visits where STEM professionals will “tell the story” of
>how they became inspired to pursue a STEM career, and what their
>research/work and life is like now. Teachers and STEM researchers and
>engineers [graduate students, post-docs, staff and faculty] will network
>and craft a visit that will be age-appropriate, fun, and include visuals
>and hands-on activities. � This is a great opportunity to learn more
>about cutting-edge STEM research, K-12 education, best practices for
>speaking with young audiences, and for classroom teachers and those with
>STEM careers to make meaningful connections.
