How This Works

Blaze a trail through the Solutions Hub Expo at the co-located ISTELive 25 and ASCD Annual 25 conference! This guided journey will take you to selected innovative exhibitors focused on STEM tools. Here's how to participate:

     1. Start at the Trailblazer Area (Booth #2254) where our team will welcome you.

     2. Visit the Trailhead counters to pick up a physical map of this route -- or create your own.

     3. Collect engaging questions at the Trailhead to guide your vendor conversations.

     4. Speak with at least two vendors on your route using the questions provided.

     5. Return to Booth #2254 to share what you learned.

     6. Spin the prize wheel to win a premium insulated tumbler or other exciting swag.

 

Meet Your Guide 

 

Jessica Holloway, District Innovation Coach

Welcome, STEM educators! Forget the overwhelming maze of the expo hall and join us on a focused expedition through the future of STEM education. Our specially designed STEM Route is your personalized pathway to discovering the most impactful and engaging STEM tools. Think of it as your compass, guiding you through a curated selection of vendor booths where you'll encounter hands-on demonstrations, expert insights, and transformative technologies. 

I've mapped out a journey that will spark your creativity, fuel your passion, and empower you to bring cutting-edge STEM experiences back to your students. To guide your own assessment of these technologies, consider how products engage students in problem solving and provide students an opportunity to work through the engineering design process.
