Ryan Mahn Receives International STEM Award
Ryan Mahn, instructional technology facilitator at John Thomas School of Discovery, was awarded the Mike Neden STEM Championship Award at the international STEM Education Association's conference in Branson, MO on October 9. The Mike Neden STEM Champion Awards program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high school teachers and teacher educators that have served as a champion for integrated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in their school and/or community.

Each year, the international STEM Education Association seeks out individuals who have implemented STEM programs, provided professional development, encouraged others, and have been instrumental in supporting integrated STEM education. Mr. Mahn is a true STEM Champion and has enthusiastically promoted K-12 STEM education through his position as the instructional technology facilitator at the John Thomas School of Discovery. Mr. Mahn believes instruction approached through the lens of science is the most meaningful, authentic, and engaging way to approach learning. He also believes STEM-driven classrooms are the most effective method for preparing children for the 21st Century.
