This week, we had a chance to sit down virtually with Benjamin Kelly, who is an experienced STEM teacher in the Anglophone East School District of New Brunswick, Canada. He is the recent recipient of the Canadian Prime Ministers Award for Excellence in Teaching STEM for 2019 & 2018, among other things. You can check out his website at bbtnb.com, and you can follow him on Twitter @BBTNB

Ben teaches grade 6-12 STEM at a small but mighty rural school where he strives to provide a world-class, authentic and future-proof learning experience through his "STEMpathy" program. He started Canada's first K-12 Dronography (Academic Drone) Program in 2014 and is a published education researcher in the area of Universal Design for Learning. Benjamin's students work daily with cutting-edge technology including the Microsoft HoloLens and Surface Studio, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift virtual reality devices and Minecraft Education Edition. The experiences don't stop there as his students explore coding and hands-on skilled trades adventures that are truly innovative.
