Participant Testimonials

“The 2022 Montana STEM conference was fantastic. I really learned a lot of practical ideas that I can take back to the classroom. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful and I found a renewed interest in Science that I had lost as a student, years ago. I look forward to attending again and letting others know about this great opportunity.”  - Charlie Struna, Missoula County Public Schools Middle School Librarian & 8th grade Math teacher

“This STEM conference was top notch! There were so many great resources and activities that I will take back to the classroom this year. I highly recommend this professional learning for all K-12 teachers.”  - Lynette Conrad, 1st grade teacher, Anderson School
