Makerspaces, STEM labs, STEM rooms – whatever you call them, they are playing a growing role in fostering hands-on STEM learning in our schools. A STEM learning space might be exactly what your school needs to increase access to students at every grade level. But where to start?

Join us on this week’s Be Connected to uncover strategies for designing and equipping dynamic STEM spaces that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. Explore a real-world success story and gain insights into how STEM rooms can cultivate the new generation of problem solvers and technology pioneers.
