getSTEM

Here’s a nice article about getSTEM, a project that my employer and a number of my coworkers are supporting.  There is talk of this having a much broader reach.  I think the whole concept is really exciting, to bring together needs with resources that can help.  I’m also pretty proud of my teammates who do a [...]
