Dave Bakker

Our guest this week is Dave Bakker, co-founder and COO of PocketLab. In March, Dave and some of his colleagues were looking for a way to provide professional development to STEM teachers while #COVID-19 kept many of them at home. The result was a virtual conference called ScIC (Science is Cool) that has attracted tens of thousands of science teachers and education professionals from around the world. Dave joins us to discuss the origins of ScIC, celebrate the success of their first three conferences, and share some of their upcoming events.
