At the beginning of June, The Toy Coach was invited to give a keynote speech at the Science Museum Oklahoma’s Inspire and Be Inspired Event. This 2nd annual Convening of Makers and Educators is presented by Oklahoma EPSCoR. This weekend provided STEAM educators, artists, and makers an opportunity to inspire and be inspired as they connected to share ideas and resources. The creative community learned, laughed, and explored great ideas together. The museum is over 390K square feet of creative exhibitions and experiences for kids and parents alike.
This year the keynote address was delivered by internationally recognized Toy Coach, Azhelle Wade.
