LET is a supplier of STEM labs for grades K-12. They partner with Creative Learning Systems in providing SmartLabs in classrooms all across the country. LET also supplies teaching and laboratory equipment for civil, chemical, electrical, materials, and mechanical engineering programs to universities in NJ, NY and PA. Cheryl Matthews, President, who has an Electrical Engineering degree from Lehigh University, says, “I wish I had the opportunity to learn in a SmartLab as a child. Solving hands-on, real-world problems using technology and computer programs, makes learning much more impactful. Students make connections between things they are learning in the SmartLab and the world around them, and even start asking better and more relevant questions in their core academic classes.”
Matthews, is also a certified speaker, teacher, trainer and coach with the John Maxwell Mentorship Team. The JMT, in partnership with Nick Vujicic of Life Without Limbs, has a mission to reach 500,000 youth through John Maxwell Team Ambassadors during their Global Youth Initiative the week of April 24-30. Ambassadors, like Matthews, will be hosting free seminars and workshops at schools and other youth organizations around the world in an effort to inspire youth in leadership and to encourage young people to be all that they were created to be.
