Why Do I Want to Be a STEM Educator?

Science is a way of knowing about the natural world. From an early age, we all demonstrate an innate curiosity and investigative mind set. The desire to know about the world prompts us to ask questions about why things are the way they are and how they work. As a educator, I want to tap into this natural curiosity and questioning in my students, have them investigative phenonmena in our world, and come up with explanations about their observations.
