In this episode, I will share how the STEM/STEAM journey started at the school where I teach in Moultrie, GA... R.B. Wright Elementary. It all started when we began participating in Georgia STEM Day about 7-8 years ago! This is such a fun day. We have really worked hard on perfecting the organization and layout of this day.
