Does anyone do Skype visits/meetings with people working in the STEM field? I feel like this could be a great way for students in my classroom to ask questions and make connections to the real world.

Yes, great way to make connections. We have done them with NASA, a marine biologist while in the south Pacific, and several others. Would love to expand.

We started back in August in distance learning mode, core subjects only. So no STEM classes. One of our 8th grade teachers was out on maternity leave, so I was asked to take that spot for the first semester. I was a long time 5th grade teacher, so not a difficult adjustment, except for learning new to me digital curriculum.

I have 2 STEM classes for the second quarter. Still online, so my focus is on coding.

Wondering what other STEM teachers are doing online?
