Abstrakt: This paper presents a case study on six elementary school teachers' perceived learning in a professional development program where teachers facilitated an integrated STEM robotics activity in an afterschool setting. Teacher reflection and interview data were analyzed for themes. The findings revealed teachers' positive growth in the following areas: 1) knowledge in STEM disciplines, 2) pedagogies in STEM teaching, and 3) confidence in STEM teaching. Discussions and suggestions for future research directions are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
