Why I Teach Conversation Series*
* This is one of the requirements for the $250 Try Teaching STEM Scholarship

Description
The format of our “Why I Teach” Conversation Series will be a fireside chat. The moderator will interview a local teacher about how they decided to be a teacher, their pathway to their current position, what impact they have on students, and how education has let them live their best life. After the moderated questions, there will be time for you to ask questions, and then food will be provided along with the opportunity for informal discussions.
