#wyoedchat Twitter chat

This evening I participated in a Twitter chat called #wyoedchat. I decided to participate in a chat with educators in Wyoming to gain insight from teachers outside of Idaho. Our conversation focused on STEM and STEAM. The 'A' referring to arts. The conversation was pretty interactive and a majority of my back and forth conversations was regarding girls getting involved in STEM. A few participants gave great ideas such as role models, mentors and getting connected with the community. I think it's important that females feel comfortable in a male dominated career path, and school is a great equal opportunity place to do this. I enjoyed talking with these Twitter participants and felt that I contributed more in this chat than any other.
