My Project

My goal is to empower my students to study and learn from their environment. The STEM field is growing, and studying the environment and finding new ways to help solve Earth's problems is one of the most exciting STEM careers. Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects, such as pollution, as well as improving environmental quality.

By providing my students with these examples of insect lifecycles and the observation kits for the ants, ladybugs, I hope to provide them with a true understanding and love of the other creatures in our environment and a desire to protect it.
