What Was Your STEM Spark?

The National Science Foundation seeks to energize the STEM community around the importance of STEM education and is asking its partners, stakeholders and anyone who has a passion science to share the moment that sparked their curiosity about or interest in science, technology, engineering or math.

We want you to share the stories of the teachers that encouraged you, the moment you witnessed something amazing and became determined to figure out how it happened, the time you took apart the vacuum cleaner to see how it worked.
