    Thank you for this! I have been a K-5 STEAM Specialist for seven years and feel like I am often defending how I teach STEAM. When I first started teaching STEAM I was designing my own curriculum and embraced divergent thinking, resourcefulness and constraints in materials. I want my 500 students to be courageous, take risks and feel safe to share their ideas no matter how crazy they may seem. I can’t wait for the book study with Carly and Adam!
