I'm the founder of The Works, a hands-on museum of engineering for kids. Located in the Twin Cities area, Minnesota, we welcome over 30,000 kids every year with hands-on exhibits and real, messy, design engineering projects. Minnesota is adding engineering standards, starting in Kindergarten. In response to this, last week we held Minnesota's first E4 Conference: Excellence in Elementary Engineering Education. In the conference evaluations, it was suggested that we start a social network for conference participants, or, more generally, for people interested in elementary engineering education. I looked around, found this admirable social network, and am very interested in participating/learning more.

I coordinate the technology initiatives for a state-wide STEM educator professional development program based out of the Center for Science and Mathematics Education at UT Austin. We have a growing Ning site for Texas STEM educators. The home page for the TRC Online Community is http://thetrc.org/trc/tolc Our organizational page is located at http://www.thetrc.org We have just recently rolled out a Ning network for all Texas STEM educators. My technology interest include community building, podcasting, and all facets of digital photography with my current excitement in high dynamic range photography. My photo gallery is at http://keithm.smugmug.com
I also enjoy explore Second Life as a community building too. You will find the STEM Colloquium on the UT SIM at: http://slurl.com/secondlife/UT%20Austin%201/53/8/22

I'm a high school math and computer science teacher in NYC. Interested in using technology to improve teaching (obviously) and teacher collaboration. I'm glad to see this site appears to have a critical mass -- there are so many out there that just dwindle and die.
