My Project

My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day. Throughout the year I am teaching ten sections of STEM classes at four different grade levels in our middle school. My classes are STEM, Robotics, Digital Applications, and Pre-engineering design. I am loving all the unique learning that is happening. My classes have been filled with robotics, designing, planning, creating, building, critical thinking and so much more!

Design is a universal language where students can be as creative as they would like.

I want my students to be able to take designing as far as they want to.

These items will be used in all of our classrooms during MakerSpace and Fab Lab. Students love to design and create in such unique ways. Resin has really taken off and students are enjoying learning how resin works and what they can do with it. Jewelry making is unique to each students and every creation. Craft sticks and paint are used on most days during MakerSpace but are running low this time of year.

Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
