Be The Inspiration- through our STEM work

This morning I popped into the STEM class. I was inspired by a couple of 4th graders and their subject... They were learning about Nobel Prize winners. (It's a goal of mine to graduate a Nobel Prize winner.)
I learned about Gertude Elion... She created medicines that helped children survive Leukemia. She started a company so we looked it up.
What we discovered was amazing.
The company has a mission: "We are a science-led global health care company on a mission: we want to help people do more, feel better, live longer." Www.gsk.com/en-go/about-us/ 
Our district says we are preparing students for a world yet to be imagined... At Scott Elementary that happens every day. Students interact with global companies that are shaping the future. These students are inspired to be difference makers like the Nobel Prize Winners they are studying.
I love it. (Written on 9/8 but it didn't post)
