#STEMDay was celebrated on Saturday — a day that honors an education that empowers students to think critically, explore boldly, and innovate fearlessly.

STEM isn’t only about its core components, but about equipping young minds with the tools to understand and shape the world around them.

Timely insight from a veteran educator, @kcollazo.bsky.social, on the importance of integrating STEM concepts in the classroom, which go beyond the note-taking and worksheets.

Science is meant to be experienced!
