The Story Sets the Stage: How effective storytelling and listening can transform STEM education
The Story Sets the Stage: How effective storytelling and listening can transform STEM education
Presented by Laura Packer, proprietor, ThinkStory
The stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, our work, our programs and our institutions. This is true for STEM education as much as any other field. How can we find, craft, support, and co-create stories that are meaningful and effective not only for the teller but for the listeners as well? How can we join our diverse voices into a common, constructive tale? Join storyteller Laura Packer for an exploration of how storytelling can empower students, educators, administrators, and more, while supporting many voices and creating space for more.
