So Proud of Mrs. Smith!
Auburn-Washburn USD 437
Congratulations to Carlin Smith, fourth grade teacher at Pauline South Intermediate School, on being selected as a Corps member of the Midwest STEM Alliance!
Mrs. Smith is one of just 18 elementary science teachers across Iowa, Kansas, and Minnesota recruited for this multi-state initiative. Backed by a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Midwest STEM Alliance is focused on celebrating, resourcing, and strengthening the work of rural elementary science educators who are making a lasting impact on their students and communities.
“I believe there are so many opportunities to bring in scientists and researchers to our classrooms, or take the students to the real world whether that be through field trips or virtual learning experiences. In doing this, students get their hands on science and
actually experience what a textbook is talking about,” said Smith.
We’re excited to see Carlin represent our school community while helping advance STEM education across the Midwest!
