Join Dr. Jo Handelsman, Director of the Wisconsin Institute of Discovery and former Associate Director for Science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy under the Obama administration, for a lunchtime session on the importance of failure in STEM education.  

Handelsman's innovative approaches emphasize active learning, inclusivity, and the integration of cutting-edge research into teaching methodologies, reshaping the pedagogical landscape to inspire critical thinking and a passion for learning in students across diverse academic disciplines.

"Failure is just part of science. You have to make the assumption that it is not you until proven otherwise." 

This event is free to attend, and lunch will be served. Sign up below:
