STEM Innovation Fellows Application Now Open
We are thrilled to be searching for our first year of STEM Innovation Fellows. We have a short application online, tell us a bit about yourself and your teaching. The application closes February 25, 2018, but we plan to run a second session next year.
UP REFLECT Mentor featured in ASCN Blog
One of the key ideas behind the REFLECT project is learning from teaching mentors. Our NSF team mentor is the amazing Dr. Judith A. Ramaley. She was recently featured in a blog post about collaboration that we wanted to share.
We also found out recently that she coined the term STEM when a few folks were trying to call it SMET. Science educators everywhere thank you for that Judith!
