Dr. Stephanie Waletzko
STEPH Activities was created in honor of Dr. Stephanie Waletzko. Steph loved learning about science, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing that love with others. She was creative and found innovative ways to help others learn challenging concepts. She was eloquently able to weave together her passion for science and ability to joke around. She was taken up to Heaven in 2020; this program was created to honor her love of science and carry on her legacy of sharing science, humor, and her faith with others.
What is STEPH Activities?
Stephanie loved science and she loved sharing her knowledge, fun, and creativity with others. She particularly enjoyed “Science Saturdays” with her nieces and nephew. As a family, we wanted to keep this idea alive and, in honor of Stephanie’s generous spirit, grow the opportunity to share with numerous others. In addition, people have continued to ask us how they can assist us in any way to keep Stephanie’s memory alive. We are most grateful for their kind support and compassionate hearts in never wanting to forget our dear Stephanie. Thus, S.T.E.P.H Activities (Science Through Experiments, Play, & Hands-on Activities) was born. Our family’s mission, with the support of Central Minnesota Community Foundation, is to provide science curriculum/materials to schools to assist in fostering a love of science and other S.T.E.M. (Science-Technology- Engineering-Math) learning opportunities.
