The Kenan Fellowship has been a STEM experience. I worked with scientists and social scientists to explore a field of study, biotechnology, and then designed a lesson based on this experience. During the externship, I had time to explore current research projects while I was learning about biotechnology. As a result of the externship, I chose to reflect on two questions regarding my instructional practice: Do I provide a STEM experience? Do my students have time to explore the science topic we are covering?   I reflected on these questions as I was building my lesson plan. I wanted a lab activity that will help students understand how science, technology, engineering, and math have transformed the field of biotechnology. I have shared my lesson with other teachers at my school and they are enthusiastic about using the lesson with their students. I will also be participating in a STEM workshop to share my lesson with other teachers within the state. I am excited about sharing the Kenan experience and how it has changed my students’ class experience.
