​
TechTerra Education is excited to announce that their CEO/Founder, Susan Wells, just published her first book - Foundations of Makerspaces - with Amazon. Wells designed her first Makerspace in 2009 and has been imagining, designing and creating Makerspaces and innovative learning spaces for over a decade.

​Her book takes her experience working with educators across the globe and uses that experience to create a guidebook on imagining, designing and deploying Makerspaces. Wells saw that educators around the world want something concrete in their hands to help them design and create a space that will work in their learning environments. Her book is a practical guide for districts and schools. Wells’ goal with her book, as with her company, from the pedagogy of Makerspaces to the vocabulary of STEM to the guiding steps for meeting the goals and standards for 21st Century learning, is STEM access for all.

TechTerra Education, a STEM education company founded in Durham, NC, along with the Boys and Girls Club of the Coastal Plains and East Carolina University, hosted a first annual STEMFest. The free event took place on August 5, 2017,  at the Jack Minges Club in Greenville, North Carolina. Approximately 125 Boys and Girls Club (BGC) kids completed eight different hands-on STEM stations.

Senator Don Davis (D) and Representative Jean Farmer-Butterfield (D) met with TechTerra Education’s CEO, Susan Wells, to take in the event. “It was a privilege to see the interest Senator Davis and Representative Farmer-Butterfield showed in STEM and the kids,” said Wells. “TechTerra Education was very happy to partner with BGC and ECU for this event.”
BGC vice-president, Julie Cary, and Dean Grant Hayes of the ECU College of Education also attended. “TechTerra Education was an outstanding partner and provider of all the STEM activities in which our kids participated,” said BGC’s Cary. “Club kids were highly engaged at each station and for many it was their first time taking part in such a wide variety of STEM activities.”
​
TechTerra provided the tools, teachers, and stations for a full day of STEM activity. BGC kids tried out coding and computational thinking, digital arts, robotics, and augmented and virtual reality. TechTerra teachers helped them work with 3d modeling, stop motion animation, and drones. The kids made take home Stations of STEM passports as keepsakes. “The day was a huge success,” said Wells, “and we look forward to working with the Boys and Girls Club to bring events like this to more kids here in North Carolina and across the nation.”
