Have you struggled to teach STEM in your school garden? Join us to discover how to incorporate 3D learning through STEM content, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts to explain real-world phenomenon or solve authentic problems.Through a variety of hands-on activities and strategies we hope to motivate, encourage, and support K - 5 teachers who want to explore ways of changing how they teach outdoors.
