The ASAP STEM Exchange
On June 21st, 2024, over 300 Arizona educators and professional development partners came together at the ASAP STEM Exchange Conference at ASU Skysong, funded by the APS Foundation! With over 30 sessions of breakout rooms hosted by our Fellows, a plethora of free STEM supplies, keynote speaker DaNel Hogan from Waters Systems Thinking, this event truly helped cement connections between our fellows and our partners! We loved getting to witness the work of our fellows showcased firsthand, and this was absolutely one of our proudest moments of the ASAP Program!
It was a truly amazing experience. Lots of hands-on & resources to share. Thank you for your support to educators!
