How do you get the entire community involved in supporting your district’s STEM programs and promote your kindergartens to district spokespeople? Ask Eryca Card, a 6th grade science teacher and Project Lead The Way PreK-8 coordinator for the rural Elkhorn Area School District in Wisconsin. In less than five years, she’s helped grow a district-wide STEM program that includes everyone from the community’s homeschool students to the local CEO and the state’s governor. At the center of it all is a desire to empower students to start leading the way and creating their legacy before they leave elementary school.
