Last Friday, I had the opportunity to present at the annual Massachusetts Business Educators Association conference. I presented a double session on STEM and business integration by setting up a STEM playground! Teachers were able to test out my STEM tools and to learn how I integrate these important materials and skills into my business courses. The highlight of the sessions was definitely the introduction of BreakoutEDU to the business educators. They had so much fun solving the budgeting clues to “break into” the locked box!
Here is my presentation: Let Your Inner Child Out in the STEM Playground
