Last year our IU13 Centerbased teacher, Ms. Andi Fellows, work with our emotional support students located at the four IU13 centers to learn about water conservation and how some places do not have water as accessible as we do.

National STEM DAY November 8th

What is STEM/STEAM Day

STEM/STEAM Day falls on November 8. There’s no way around it: children are significantly better off with strong science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics skills. That’s why STEM and STEAM education programs are so important.

So, on November 8, we celebrate STEM/STEAM Day! Why is STEM in Education so important?
