This amazing STEM experience recently brought Chinese teachers and students to Scofield in October. A sub-set of Scofield teachers and students may have the amazing experience of traveling to China to see the Middle School attached to Shandong University in Jinan, China first hand!



Myself and Bryan Olkowski spend an unbelievable week in New Delhi, India in March representing Scofield at a Global HP conference for grantees. You can't make this stuff up!



The people of New Delhi were fascinated by my (then ) bushy mustache.


For more on the New Delhi trip see our blog of the experience here.
