How do you help your students stay passionate for STEM subjects when they seem less interesting to them? I know this is diverse for all of us, just looking to crowdsource ideas. It seems attention spans these days just keep getting shorter!

I am currently revamping the technology skills curriculum and I asked my students what were their favorite and least favorite parts of the old curriculum as well as what else they would like to learn about next year - students take the class in 6th, 7th, and 8th so they are interested in making the classes better for themselves next year. That is something I am using to help me keep the projects relevant and interesting to the students.

Using tech to teach about electric fields, how the screen if their cell phone works, and moving to some programming and virtual content to make it more gamelike.

Don't let classes be static and boring.
Revamp and customize frequently.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
