I run the school library and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) space. Classes visit the STEAM space to use technology and engineering resources as part of their science and social studies units. I provide resources for teachers to help them create project- based lesson plans that integrate science and technology with their Social Studies units (American Colonies, California Missions, Ancient Civilizations, etc). I also manage the environment, the computers, and the books that the students need for the lesson plans to be successful.
