Gilroy resident Meg Omainsky has been selected as one of 12 education innovators to present their STEM teaching innovations at the first ever STEMposium on Friday, April 1 at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.
The STEMposium will showcase “compelling new methods of bringing science, technology, engineering and math to life in the classroom through short, rapid-fire presentations,” according to a press release.
Omainsky, 41, was selected from more than 130 submissions to present at STEMposium and compete for the opportunity to win prizes valued at up to $5,000.
A teacher and librarian at Palo Alto Unified School District with a passion for using technology to engage students, Omainsky is creating “Science Slam” to reinvent science fairs through an online portal where students can upload their science fair demonstrations and learn from viewing one another’s innovations.
Omainsky’s STEMposium submission video “Science Slam” can be watched here.
