Two great examples of our Iowa STEM Teacher Externships in the field. Great job Summer and Micaela!
It’s a beautiful day to visit Iowa STEM Teacher Externs Micaela Sciarrotta and Summer Teed! Micaela and Summer have been working with Jasper County Conservation on numerous camps this summer through the Iowa STEM Teacher Externships program. They’ve worked alongside knowledgeable and skilled naturalists to bring the classroom curriculum to life through summer programming including Junior Naturalist Camp, Wildlife Explorers Camp, Astronomy Camp, Survival Camp, and today’s Water Sports Camp. Thank you Micaela and Summer for your great work and to Marc, their STEM Externships mentor. Thanks also to Jasper County Conservation for partnering with Iowa STEM and hosting this Externships opportunity.
