Congratulations Chuck!
Nice work, Chuck English, our former Director of Playful Learning & Inquiry. Congrats to all the history makers and a big yay for Virginia STEM! #rva #VAmuseums #STEMva #RichmondHistoryMakers
If you have never heard her speak, try to find a presentation from Dr. Cindy Moss. Right now, she is delivering a keynote at VAST. She is that rare person who understands STEM, business, and how to move children out of poverty.

Ironically, because of the pandemic, I'm "attending" and "speaking" at more Science Educator meetings than ever before. Last week it was Texas, tonight, it's a Keynote presentation to Virginia Science Teachers (w special emphasis on Covid-19).
