It is a great course and I have learned so much relevant classroom content that is going to help me as a STEM/STEAM educator.

Thanks to Coursera support for helping me out. Kudos!

Amazing course for educators seeking ways to introduce STEM to their curriculum. This course is also a great for STEM educators who would like to expand their current curriculum. My only recommendation is to be prepared to purchase the Tinkering kit which will allow you to apply learned concepts during the session.

Excellent course, I am looking forward to a part 2.
