My Students

We are a small rural school district in southwest Ohio. We are housed in a building that is almost 100 years old. Some of my students are learning in the same classrooms that their parents and grandparents did, which is part of what makes our school a comfortable place for families to gather.

I teach a STEM course to an active and enthusiastic group of junior high students, who are happy to come to school and eager to use STEM in high-interest problem-solving​.

I am also the STEM coach and I am always looking for new ways to engage my students in using STEM principles both in and out of the classroom.

My Project

The ability to explain coding with a brightly colored electronic display will add to the excitement of learning computer science in a hands-on approach.

When we return to our classroom students will be so excited to learn computer science and coding with the Circuit Playground.

I am super excited to spend my summer learning so that I can pass on this hands-on learning experience to my students when we return to our school building!

Learning computer science skills is a 21st century in demand skill for my students to achieve.
