The leadership workshop was so valuable for me as a high school science teacher. I plan on using these demonstrations as life lessons that my students will remember for years to come. In addition, many of these lessons can be incorporated into our professional development sessions throughout the year with my colleagues.
Your STEM conference was outstanding! I had to redo my cabinets to fit all the new supplies we received. My principal was so impressed with the strategies and ideas we brought back that she wants others to go to the conference next year. Amazing!
Sarah Krammer, Science Specialist
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
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
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
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
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 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 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
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!
Jennifer Murray – Portage WI

Steve’s workshop is NOTHING like any workshop I’ve experienced in the past. Fun, engaging and connected to learning standards that I’m required to teach.
Our STEM experience with Steve Spangler was unbelievable. He shared classroom strategies for how to engage students on their level, to make it an experience, a memory, and not a worksheet. The Fueling Education winning schools will never forget their professional development experience with Steve – engaging, fun and truly inspiring.
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.
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!!

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
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
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
You can not miss this session if you have an opportunity to attend. Your teaching will never be the same!
– Veronica Ochoa
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
Your Science of Engagement experience in Breckenridge opened up a new world of possibilities. The engagement strategies really work as my students are trying to create their own experiences to share with other grade levels. Great conference!

Tim Geraghty, Vice President – News Director
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.
Chelsea Wright – Producer
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Jolena – Parent
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.”
Lisa Catmull – Parent
AMAZING!!! Thank you all for an awesome experience that has truly sparked their interest in everything science.
Shalondra Gurley – Parent (p.s. I’ll be using the balloon with the hex nut as my new alarm to wake them up. lol Shh! Don’t tell them)
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.

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!
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.
