Finished but Not Forgotten Projects
In 1983, STEM4Learning founder Allan Miller traveled to Leningrad, Soviet Union for a summer semester of Russian language studies at Leningrad State University. The experiential learning that came from immersion in a different culture became a seed that has continued to grow into a commitment to participate in and often create unique experiences for students, teachers and classrooms around the globe. If these spark an idea for something you would like to do - drop us a note and let's see if we can help create a new opportunity for you and your students.
