In this special episode, I’m recording from an exciting new location—my mobile STEM trailer!

This trailer is something I’ve dreamed of since 2020, and I’m thrilled to share how this vision came to life.

Join me as I give you a behind-the-scenes look at my journey, from hunting for the right vehicle to the inspiring reasons behind creating a mobile STEM classroom. I’ll share some fun stories, like my search for this trailer and how I’m setting it up to reach even more students in our community.

Plus, I’ll explain a fun way for you to join this journey—by adding your name to the trailer in a special way. Let’s dive into how we can make STEM accessible to every child, one mile at a time!
