Our final week of May STEM STUDIO 108 VIRTUAL STEM LESSONS are scheduled and materials sent out. Our live lessons went extremely well. There were a total of 65 lessons provided to 17 different teachers during this school year with a range of 1-10 lessons per teacher. Thank you goes out to Giovanna and all the teachers and staff that explored this new opportunity.

Why let the awesome lessons you just used or observed go to waste? For this year's contest, we are asking you to share lesson photos, and the lesson you used along with any lesson support materials with us using this Google Form!

Those who share a photo along with the lesson plan will be entered in our monthly drawing for a chance to win a lesson with Giovanna. Together you will plan a lesson for your students focusing on the content of your choice. 

 “THANK YOU!” for all you do for our students at IU13.👍
