STEM Rooted in Culture Registration Now Open 

Registration is now open for the Fall/Winter STEM Rooted in Culture Series. Join us on November 2nd and January 18th to hear from Pacific Island community leaders about whales, story telling, navigation, and more!   

 I am super appreciative of the work everyone has done in organizing this series and helping me grow as a person and as a teacher. These workshops and assignments weren’t just informative, but have led to action that is causing change!
