Best Day Ever! Steve Spangler’s STEM for Little Sprouts workshop was the best professional development series the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education has ever offered. Steve helped our teachers think differently about STEM and opened their minds to everything that’s possible.

This workshop was inspiring! I can’t wait to bring these ideas to my students to grow empathy and community.

I am a teachers assistant and work with pre k autistic children. Your presentation reminded me of several of my best day ever moments as a child and as an educator. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to early childhood children and teachers.

I just thought we were doing some science experiments today but it was a nice surprise to see your passion for kids that the science became secondary.  Thank you for sharing your gift Steve! I’m taking teaching enthusiasm back to my classroom.

This virtual workshop was so great.  While the science experiments were great, I love your passion for wanting us to engage with each other and the children in our early childhood classrooms.  Thank you!

Thank you.  This was the best workshop I’ve attended virtually.  I was engaged the entire workshop and wish it could have been longer.  Can’t wait to try what I’ve learned in my early childhood classroom.

This workshop has helped me see that children start to follow their dreams at a young age, and it’s so important to teach them how to wonder, discover and explore the world. Thanks for the amazing ideas!

You made me remember why I decided to start over and be an early childhood teacher.  Thank you Steve!

That’s right, my students literally started yelling and screaming with joy when I said that we were going to do some Steve Spangler science experiments earlier this week. Amidst the commotion, I made a discovery. It’s not about the “activity” or experiment as much as it was about the way Steve taught me to teach the concept. He explained the connections with science to real life in a way students would be engaged. If he can engage me, I know my students will be engaged. Now, I need a class on how to keep my kids from screaming.

2021 Participant

Steve made it fun, easy and the concepts so approachable and understandable that I am finally doing and enjoying science activities with my students. He talked about creating “transformational experiences,” well he did it on me.

Steve Spangler’s approach to science makes learning fun for both teachers and students. The students really look forward to being scientists each Friday! Steve Spangler not only provides amazing science experiments but also shares life lessons from his own personal teaching experiences. As professional educators, this allows us to reflect on our teaching experiences as well and allows us to positively adjust our mindset in the classroom.

2021 Participant

I came to this workshop wanting more teaching strategies that with with hands-on experience. Using Steve’s materials/activities brings science to life for our students. Pre-K is hands on and his materials/activities fit the way our students learn so well.

2021 Participant

He made real-life science come to life! I was so engaged; I felt confident teaching it.

2021 Participant

Steve engaged us by giving us the opportunity to perform the activities we would be doing with our students. We didn’t have to just rely on instructions in a book as guidance. By doing so many of the activities that we would do it allowed us to have a visual of the “whole” experience. We were able to be the students and enjoy learning which made us excited to pass on the experiences.

I love Science and I wanted to learn more experiments to do with my class.  This is my first time doing the conference, I loved everything about it.

 – Monique Naquin

You can not miss this workshop if you have an opportunity to attend. Your teaching will never be the same!

This workshop was so very interesting, even for me as a grown-up. It is rich with things that fill the student with wonder and a desire to learn more. All of the lessons make a student want to run out and show someone!

– Marie Long

I will use more science hands-on activities to connect with children’s literature. I ‘ve used the same old fizzing volcano or fizzing pumpkin over and over again year after year. I have learned a lot of new exciting experiments in this workshop. Experiments that’ll nurture their natural curiosity and it’ll surely help the kids be thinkers and problem-solvers. Let’s promote STEM to these future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians! The earlier, the better!

– Sheryl Cooper 

I learned creative and engaging ways to make Science even more interesting and exciting, but Steve and his team took beyond that by connecting our favorite books with Science. It was AMAZING!!!!

– Lucia Ybarra 

This workshop will inspire you and make you excited about planning live-event learning for your students. Connecting literature to STE(A)M is perfect for Pre-K and primary students.

Taking this workshop helped me connect some great literature with science in the classroom! Julie & Steve gave me great ideas on how to make my science more inquiry based and how to guide my students to ask more questions and take risks!

The conference was stocked full of information, wow moments and you can’t beat the fact that supplies for the classroom was also included. This was never a boring conference and I could not wait to see what Steve would do next. I also appreciated the fact that Steve explained EVERY “trick” and showed how it could be applied in the classroom to make a real life connection with the students.

Wonderful workshop Steve! Demonstrating experiments for teachers lights a fire of excitement to get back into the classroom. Giving teachers the materials to follow along with the demonstrations makes the learning experience much more lasting – Seeing AND doing is key.

The demonstrations and hands on materials are fantastic.  Phenomenon based learning strategies. To engage students in real world science experiences that allow them to make connections and create new things.

There are numerous strategies from this workshop that I will use in my future teaching. Steve’s delivery of content is high energy and engaging. Steve also asks strong questions that encourage students to practice critical thinking skills.

I’ve taken many courses from Steve, & they all have been amazing. My students absolutely LOVE & look forward to science. Thanks Steve!!

If you can, just do it! So much great ideas, information, presentation skills, and philosophy to encourage and invite student engagement. Inspiring workshop – I can’t wait to use in the classroom and lab!

The Science in the Rockies workshop isn’t just about experiments that can be incorporated into your classroom lessons. It is more importantly about the excitement, every day learning experiences, and connections that can be fostered in your students and just as importantly, yourself as a teacher.

Steve made it fun, easy and the concepts so approachable and understandable that I am finally doing and enjoying science activities with my students. He talked about creating “transformational experiences,” well he did it on me.

Throughout all of the videos that I watched, I had the wow moment to everyone. I feel all teachers would benefit from this training. I loved it!

This has been the most useful workshop I have ever attended. Every idea (and there are so many) is linked to a science concept. Science came alive for me – it was exciting – I loved watching the videos and trying the concepts myself! My goal is to make science come alive for my students!

Jennifer Ekstrum – Kimball SD

I learned how exciting and engaging online science learning can be! My students will be leaning forward toward their screens to ask “How did you do that?” Pure engagement to create experiences at its best!

Ellen Reed – Adamsville OH

This is the best way I’ve seen with building self esteem, teamwork, understanding, and deeper thinking. I am all for getting the most out of lessons and including leadership skills takes it to the next level and where I want to be.

Lori Beemer – Hudson IL

I could not have been more engaged in this workshop. I literally was sitting on the edge of my recliner for hours. I was digging into my box of tools to “play” along and learn how to engage my students with “best day ever” moments. Steve is a huge success and he never comes across as a “know it all” rather he is humble and kind and wants to help teachers be successful in every classroom.

Jenna Simms – Wichita KS

Engaging PD that can be used in the classroom. Ideas to get kids interested in science and curious about the world around them. Great to get resources and be able to practice how to use them. Steve and his team were awesome! They made the videos interesting and have a great message to teachers. I have been to many PD sessions in my 19 years of teaching and I have taken the more out of this PD than any of the years combined. The keynote had me laughing and crying. Great message.

Riley Ellis-Toddington – Lethbridge AE

This work shop is amazing and fun! Steve has excellent experiments to share and he gives ideas on how to connect them to the curriculum. It’s engaging and interactive, even virtually!

Shelly Rerick – Otsego MN

This was one of the best online PD I have done. I wanted to be doing all the experiments right along with the videos. My boyfriend, who doesn’t speak much English, watched several of the hours with me and enjoyed the experiments just as much as I did!

Liz Keddy – Milan Italy

Steve Spangler is an outstanding educator and speaker who setting new standards in virtual learning. Steve is substantive, insightful and has important messages to deliver to advance teaching and student learning.

I just watched the first video and I’m literally overwhelmed by how much you are giving us. I feel like I hit the jackpot with this class being virtual instead of in person so that I have this wealth of knowledge and library to pull from. Unbelievable.

I’ve been teaching 31 years and this is by far the best PD! I’ve always tried to make learning fun for my students, but wish I would have been introduced earlier in my teaching years. I’m not going to want to retire in a year!!

Denise DiSalvo Dupre – Septemer 2020

I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend your training at the Science Museum Oklahoma… and I will never forget the kindness and generosity you bestowed upon my family after the event. You’re an ordinary person who gets other ordinary people to believe extraordinary things about themselves and about the world around us. That makes you a hero in our home.

Your program and your team has helped bring our staff together like no other activity at our institution. We saw incredible cross-departmental communication, planning, camaraderie, and a sense of great pride that spread throughout the museum. The experience we created together was incredibly valuable to our institution, and we treasure the partnership we share.

Best webinar ever! Over 10,000 educators watched your amazing webinar this afternoon. Whenever you present for us, we call it an “un-webinar” because you’re unlike anything we’ve ever experienced.

-Lisa Schmucki, Founder and CEO

Take it from someone who has been forced to sit through tons of educational webinars… Steve’s workshop is NOTHING like anything I’ve experienced in the past. Fun, engaging and connected to learning standards that I’m required to teach.

We just celebrated Steve’s 26th appearance on the show… if that tells you anything. Steve Spangler consistently produces amazing results every time he’s on the show. He understands television and how to show his passion for making science fun.

You’re a total pro on camera! Mentos soda geysers and exploding Pop Rocks made our Science of Candy segments over the top fun. I’ve never heard the crew so excited about a location shoot.

Liz Hostetler, Producer

If you are looking for energy and surprises on television, Steve’s the master at it. Who would have guessed that Steve’s original segment showing something fun to do with a roll of Mentos and a bottle of Diet Coke back in 2005 would make our 9News science guy an internet sensation? Steve Spangler’s approach to doing television is always fun and engaging both for our viewers and our on-air talent. Bottom line… Steve knows how to create fun and viral television experiences that viewers remember.

Patti Dennis, Vice President, News

Take it from someone who has worked with Steve on live television every week for the last 15 years… Steve knows how to create TV moments that viewers remember. Things fizz, pop and explode and so does the e-mail I get when he lights me on fire.

Mark Koebrich, News Anchor

You gave us amazing television on Modern Marvels. One minute you’re talking about the science of super cold temperatures and the next minute we are all standing in the middle of a giant liquid nitrogen cloud. You’re a pro.

Kaylan Eggert – Producer

The Doctors show staff loved working with Steve Spangler. His demonstrations were the perfect illustration for what we were trying to show our audience… and the visual on camera was great.

Steve Spangler’s segments on News 10 were great. Ratings were high throughout the entire week. Best of all, I really appreciate his ability to work with our entire on-air morning team. Steve made them look like rockstars… and the viewers loved it.

AMAZING!!! Thank you all for an awesome experience that has truly sparked their interest in everything science.

Steve’s love of STEM is topped only by his genuine love for children. He challenges them to seek solutions, instead of providing ready answers. Steve teaches the kids that STEM goes beyond science. No one presents a science concept like Steve. My son calls him a trickster AND a scientist. Steve’s flair for presentation combined with authentic enthusiasm really engage my children. They couldn’t wait for STEM camp to start. It was the highlight of every day and definitely the highlight of the summer. Even with a Zoom class of 30 screens, Steve makes every child feel noticed and special. He praises every child and builds them up. Steve mentors the next generation of scientists, instilling both a sense of wonder and engaging showmanship. His love of teaching and of children is real and palpable.”

As life has moved online I was hesitant and not sure about virtual science, but within the FIRST FEW MINUTES my young scientist was hooked and participating more then he did during any other virtual class.  Steve and the whole team did a great job keeping the kids engaged and participating. Virtual STEM camp was an amazing experience! Don’t tell anyone but… I found myself finishing work early to get to participate in all of the experiments.

My son kept telling me how much he was loving everything and how amazing it was to meet one of his idols. In a time where everything has been so uncertain and so much fun has been canceled, you have brought so much joy to our family!

Lauren and Tanner Stahl – Parents

Each day my twin girls woke up so eager and enthusiastic to start camp, and when it was over would say, “We can’t wait for tomorrow’s experiments!” Thanks to Steve for creating such an engaging experience.

Erin Voght – Parent

Thank you so much for making learning fun and reigniting the learning flame for my son. I know it sounds silly, but it warmed my heart when I heard him ask a question – I could see and hear his confidence!

Tamara – Parent

The learning keeps happening even after camp is over. Tonight we had a Bubble Olympics competition. Sawyer is absolutely loving camp. Thank you for making it so amazing and fun!

Jen Smith – Parent

As a parent it has been a pleasure to experience camp alongside my child.  It’s been a unique learning experience to see my child learn a subject and then apply what he has learned later on in the day. Each day he has asked to Facetime his grandparents and aunt who live in California to show them what he has learned from you. Thank you for the amazing week.

Jennifer Gorrell – Parent

On Monday, both my son and daughter said, “Now I love science even more because of STEM camp.” Thanks for making this the highlight of their summer!

Lisa Catmull – Parent

It is amazing what can be accomplished with 30 kids on Zoom in an hour! As a scientist myself, I am loving seeing all of the engagement and the interactions the kids get with Steve. Experience of a lifetime.

Wendy Jamison – Parent

This week has been awesome! I wish I had a dime for every time Delaney said, “Steve, you’re a genius!”

I’m a 2nd grade teacher & will be using some of Steve’s tricks next year!

Thank you for this experience!

Karen Blanton – Parent

I have to tell you I think this camp is amazing and Steve is great with the kids!  We stumbled on Steve by accident when I was looking for fun stuff to do in quarantine.  I don’t know if you do the virtual camps always or if this was a quarantine solution, but I hope you continue!  Declan loves it!

Shannon Johnson – Parent

That’s right, my students literally started yelling and screaming with joy when I said that we were going to do some Steve Spangler science experiments earlier this week. Amidst the commotion, I made a discovery. It’s not about the “activity” or experiment as much as it was about the way Steve taught me to teach the concept. He explained the connections with science to real life in a way students would be engaged. If he can engage me, I know my students will be engaged. Now, I need a class on how to keep my kids from screaming.

He made real-life science come to life! I was so engaged; I felt confident teaching it.

We just finished our virtual STEM workshop with you and so many of our co-workers commented they heard us laughing all day as they walked through the halls. I’ve been teaching 31 years and this is by far the best PD! I’ve always tried to make learning fun for my students, but wish I would have been introduced earlier in my teaching years. I’m not going to want to retire in a year!!

When our teachers needed help with strategies and better practices for teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, we again turned to Steve Spangler. He’s an engaging and compelling speaker – and an outstanding educator who setting new standards in virtual learning. Teacher feedback was excellent because he is substantive and insightful and has important messages to deliver to advance teaching and student learning.
