What would change if all our community members were seen as scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians? The iSTEM Externship program can assist with this questions. This has been a great experience as a first year iSTEM Externship program participant. This experience with Novus Glass has been an incredible opportunity. The employee that I worked with was kind, helpful, and so willing to foster a relationship between the STEM industry and education. This year I was able to learn about the detailed process of bringing clarity to windshield needs, whether it was a small chip or full windshield replacement. There are so many other details that need to be considered with this business such as: insurance, bookkeeping, customer service, timekeeping, accounting, proper cleaning techniques to maintain visibility, and tips for avoiding damage. I am so excited to share what I have learned this summer with my elementary school students this fall. It makes math and technology so much more meaningful. Also, my job as a teacher is more fulfilling when students can see a connection between science, technology, engineering, and math with the world they live and grow in.
