Vicky Pasquantonio from PBS NewsHour Classroom has curated several incredible PBS NewsHour stories, and I couldn’t wait to share them with you. Many of these features highlight educators, and team members from our very own PD+ community—as well as students who’ve competed at VEX Worlds.
These are powerful stories that capture the spirit of what we’re all working toward: empowering students through STEM, robotics, and the passion of dedicated educators.
