STEM Coaching sessions</a> starting this month on January 22<sup>nd</sup> with a few free sessions, you could attend one or all – This could be a good opportunity if you have been trying to incorporate STEM into your programming, if you currently do so and
 have questions/want brainstorming help, or if you are a STEM expert and have great ideas to share or want to connect with others doing STEM work with kids.
