Inaugural "Office Hours" Teleconference Today!
After talking to a parent about her son's interest in STEM, specifically engineering, I created a forum (Office Hours) for students to speak directly with professionals trained and/or employed in their field of interest.
Tonight is the first call, and if all goes well, I will post/host weekly office hours along with a schedule. More details to come...Very excited!
Onward!
