The moment I realized my career in public education was about to change to providing STEM for out-of-school programs- a trip to Kennedy Space Center with the Boys & Girls Club kids in 2022 to meet astronauts, do hands-on science, and view a rocket launch! I left public education and joined that very Boys & Girls Club the following year.
