Andrea Fellows works with students from kindergarten up to 21 years old in Pennsylvania and has found that hands-on STEM education has opened up the doors for students that have previously not engaged with academics.
“I love using STEM in my classroom with my students because all of my students are very reluctant learners. Traditional academics do not work for them.”
"I love the fact that I can take these into special education. It’s very hands-on so it doesn’t alienate kids regardless of their learning ability."

Pre-K-12 Teacher
“They are able to explain the mechanics behind it or what their idea was. They’ll give me a lot more detail when they're explaining their creation than if I were to ask them to write a sentence.”
