October STEM on Tap: Art & STEM

Grab a drink, pull up a chair and connect with other grade 6 -12 STEM teachers at the first STEM on Tap of the new school year! This workshop series connects STEM teachers with practitioners, resources, and each other. Each workshop will take place at a brewery around the southwest metro and feature a different STEM practitioner and topic.

You will receive a certificate for 2.0 hours of continuing education credit at the conclusion of the workshop.

Dinner will be provided for participants, but you are responsible for your own drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).
