It's important to have guest experts speak with your students in the STEM space. While the experiences that they are having in your classroom are powerful, you can bring another dimension to their learning by hosting guest experts. In addition, students should be exposed to role models who are different from them so that they respect the ideas, abilities, and potential of others. I'm sharing three classroom guest speaker ideas for STEM in today's episode. If you want to learn how to host your own STEM Career Day at your school, join me for the STEM Career Day Workshop.
