STEM Educator of the Year: This leader turned a lockdown into a launchpad for science education

Dr. Katelyn Brinkerhoff, a high school science teacher from Ohio, was named the 2023 STEM Educator of the Year by the National Institute for STEM Education for her innovative approach to STEM education during the COVID-19 lockdown.
