FLEMING ISLAND – For the most part, school principals are not known to be the kind of leaders who take time to play, however, they were recently encouraged to by School Superintendent Addison Davis.
Davis brought STEM2Hub, a Northeast Florida nonprofit that focuses on improving science, technology, engineering and math education, to Clay County Nov. 27 for a day of training and, well, play at the Fleming Island High Teacher Training Center.
STEM2hub Executive Director Kathleen Schofield worked with Davis and Lego Education to ingrain Clay County principals that day in the STEM education that is already going on in their schools. During the eight-hour experience, principals learned how to code, create music-playing programs and build Lego robots.
