My Project

I teach a great group of eager, creative, and motivated fourth-grade students with a wide range of interests and abilities. This summer I attended a Chibitronics class sponsored by Infosys and now I'm requesting help to bring design thinking into the classroom. This maker project will allow students to work with and better understand the flow of energy. It will launch our study of energy sources and lead into a unit on climate change. And finally, the hands-on nature will help make the concepts accessible to all learners.
