Rural STEM Resources Update
Brief overview of the Discussion Section of the STEM Forum: Currently, for security reasons, Wayne Fagan is the only person that can originate a Discussion item, but once an item has been posted anyone who has subscribed to the STEM Forum may comment, and others may reply to that comment.
If one has not subscribed to the STEM Forum you may still view all categories, except Membership and Private Rural STEM, but you will not be able to comment which is why we encourage everyone, whether or not a Participating School, to subscribe to the STEM Forum.
