Calling all #STEM Change Agents: #BigBeacon Networking Twitter Chat, Wed, 29 October, 8pm ET

Need some help in your classroom?  Need a collaborator for a research project or change initiative?  Need a mentor or an informal coach?  Need someone to work on FIRST Robotics?  Need a speaker or inspirational engineer? Or just want to meet like-minded individuals who want engineering & #STEM education to become more humane, more humanistic.  Join Dave Goldberg, President of Big Beacon for a special twitter chat to network with other #STEM educators, role models, students, and change agents.  We will get started on Wednesday, October 29th at 8:00 pm, Eastern Time (hashtag: #bigbeacon).
