Description

There is a shift in focus toward a skillset that could really help students. The hands-on learning is called STEAM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Former professional basketball player, Niesha Butler started a program called S.T.E.A.M. CHAMPS. Her curriculum offers camps to help kids gain interest in steam.

“If they chose to go and be an engineer, an architect or whatever, I feel so comfortable that they will be a professional making a lot of money,” said Butler.

Butler also discussed her career as a professional basketball player, her injuries and why a back up plan is necessary.
