148. Why STEM is Important for Students with Tiffani Teachey

We always hear how STEM is important and the importance of STEM in schools. Whether a teacher or a parent, you know STEM is important for kids. The real question is, why is STEM important for students? What impact does STEM have on children’s education? That’s what we’re talking about today. In today’s episode, I chat with Tiffani Teachey, who wears many hats, including Sr. Mechanical Engineer, STEM advocate, and TEDx international speaker, to name a few. Tiffani shares so many great insights into why STEM is important for kids and how you can encourage student engagement in STEM.
