By the end of 8th grade most students have made up their minds about liking math & science.
They have already decided if they are going to dig in and pursue higher level math & science. A big reason they choose math & science is the role models they have in their lives. Seeing a STEM professional use math and science to do innovative --and downright cool-- things can inspire students to engage in science and math.
MCESA and Eight, Arizona PBS, are inviting all middle school classrooms to tune in and meet one of our STEM Professional Mentors.
