My Project

My students are always ready to try something new, and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day. I am teaching six 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 love all the unique learning that is happening. My classes are 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. This year, my 7th and 8th-grade students have been 3D printing, and they love it. I want to get more colors for their creations. I can't wait for them to choose from all of them!

We are so fortunate to have a STEM program at our school, and I want to keep growing and improving it. Our school includes over sixty percent of 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.
