And lessons learned
Darren has offered to mentor the Upstate Collaborative regarding out STEM Festival efforts.
Attendees divided (self-selected) into 4 work groups to begin initial conversations regarding our 4 priorities for 2014. Work groups shared synopsis of their dialogue with the whole group.
The STEM Asset Map is open—by invitation-- for a one week soft launch to work out the “kinks”. Tom walked us through log-in and mock “live pages” of the site. Attendees were invited/encouraged to register and provide feedback regarding what needs “smoothing out” prior to official launch.
