As Founding Head of MC2STEM High School in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Dr. McClellan has stretched the boundaries of STEM education in the 21st Century. MC2STEM high school spans the city of Cleveland, with 9th-grade classrooms at the Great Lakes Science Center and 10th-graders on GE's Nela Park Campus, making it the nation's only high school on the headquarters campus of a Fortune 500 company. 11th and 12th-graders moved this year to their new location on the campus of Cleveland State University. Students at MC2STEM High School participate in a year round, project based curriculum that is supported by many members of the professional STEM Community of Greater Cleveland. MC2STEM High School is noted as the first High School in the United States to house a MIT Fab Lab. MC2STEM High School has a Fab Lab at each site and has a Mobile Fab Lab that it uses to support the spread of Fab Lab experiences to other schools and communities around the country.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
