Science, technology, engineering, art, and math are all the components that make up our STEAM Lab! I'm so lucky to teach in a school with a dedicated space for STEAM. By working together to think critically, learn through action, and problem solve, our students can do anything. I believe that all children are capable of becoming incredible problem solvers, and it is my mission to ensnare the imaginations of as many future scientists, engineers, and great thinkers as I can.
