There are many new teachers in the NYC school system that are being asked to teach STEM. Many of these teachers are cluster science teachers that are asked to find new and innovative ways to teach the initiatives set forth by the state, including projects, cross-curriculum lessons, lessons other than science that teaches to STEAM principles, etc. Many teams have after school and summer academics that educate young minds in these areas. However, some of the teachers being recruited to instruct STEAM courses are not familiar with the material they need to teach. They could really use our help, which is why we started FIRST STEP. So once again, please forward us any lessons, projects, work sheets, etc. that you might feel are helpful at any level, so we can review and post them for all to use. You may also send any links to web sites that you find helpful. Since this is a new project, we are also open to any ideas or suggestions that might better our site, which we will be launching on November 3rd.

Thanking you for your Gracious Professionalism, Team 375.
