CHRIS WOODS is a high school math teacher, STEM presenter, and host of the STEM Everyday podcast. Chris likes to remind his students and followers that STEM is everywhere around us … we just have to learn to recognize it.

In our conversation, Chris shares transparently about the challenges of reaching every student in 9th grade. He explains why it’s so critical to cultivate curiosity and demonstrate relevance for our learners through STEM education, and offers his take on the suggestion that STEM sometimes overshadows the creative arts. As we wrap up, Chris also shares the voices and resources that are shaping his thinking and inspiring his practice today.
