The STEM Learning Ecosystem Convening
Phil Rogofsky, Executive Director, attended the STEM Learning Ecosystem Convening in Bay City, Michigan. He met individuals from the STEM Community from across the Country. He learned about ways to bring more STEM opportunities to Maryland such as the Chief Science Officers Program and can’t wait to use what he learned!
