Re: “STEM program blends learning with practical skills,” Jan. 30.

I’d just like to say that I’ve really appreciated the articles about some of the great work being done in Vancouver schools.

I used to teach a robotics and engineering program at David Thompson Secondary, but now I teach new technology education teachers how to “teach shop” at BCIT.

There are some very exciting initiatives taking place in technology education these days, and whether the goals are trades oriented, like at Tupper, or tech-oriented like at Templeton, it is great to see them getting the recognition they deserve.

Thanks for the great articles, I look forward to reading more.
