Professional Development

STEM professional development is essential to student growth because it empowers educators with the knowledge and strategies to create engaging, inquiry-based learning environments. When teachers are equipped to integrate STEM concepts effectively, they can inspire curiosity, foster critical thinking, and promote problem-solving skills in their students. High-quality professional development also helps educators build meaningful connections between the classroom and the real world, encouraging students to see themselves as capable innovators and lifelong learners.

At STEMpact WV, we proudly serve homeschool educators, informal educators, and traditional classroom teachers alike—because we believe every educator deserves access to the tools and support needed to make student learning a success. 

We also offer specialized professional development and support for FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge robotics coaches, providing training designed to build confidence, encourage collaboration, and support success both on and off the competition floor.

By investing in educator growth, we lay the foundation for student achievement in an increasingly STEM-driven world.
