. “It fits really well with project-based learning. Children can learn so many different skills.” Seeing the cutting-edge infusion of technology in education helps PLU students think about new ways to incorporate STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) into learning, he added.

your own.” Sam underscored that point: “It forces you to think about how to teach differently.” Going back Sam’s experience in Namibia didn’t end with PLU.
