Just over a week ago, we joined joined the Cleveland State University STEM Education Conference as a co-sponsor. It was a great day, with more than 200 educators gathered to learn at more than 30 sessions.
The hashtag (#clestem2019) was just as busy as the conference, so we’ve
pulled together this quick post featuring all of our favorites. Don’t miss the appearance of Cleveland’s favorite STEM-supporting meteorologist: Betsy Kling!
