Dr. McKinney, PHD visited MLK to talk to teachers about STEM camp’s biology lessons. She was excited to hear how students were learning hands-on about the stages of development of chicks and ducks from egg to hatch to feeding, heating and watering. She talked about how students learn through building on foundations of knowledge, called scaffolding. She gave teachers STEM related biology lessons including how to extract DNA from a strawberry. Dr. McKinney is a teacher and Chair of her department at the Center for Academic Success at Nebraska.
