Abstract
COVID impacted the whole world leaving roadblocks for people everywhere to adjust to. When it comes to teaching, STEM educators had a difficult transition from in-person to online classes. Without technology readily available for students to touch and hold onto, students became less motivated to complete their assignments in a way that encouraged them to grow and learn. However, some educators took this challenge head-on and improvised their teaching to adjust to their student’s needs. In the end, educators saw success when working alongside and adapting to their students.
