Feedback on eLC

“I’m an advocate for STEM education *ESPECIALLY, girls in STEM* and I just wanted to contact you and acknowledge that we’ve enjoyed checking out your links from your “STEM” page.” – Jordyn W (US)

“I want to thank you for your dedication to supporting students. My focus has been a bit skewed towards STEM (I was a teacher) and also empowering women; there’s overlap between us, and so I wanted to connect with you.” – Alexandra (USA)
