My Project

What makes my students special is their motivation to create. Covid-19 has taken many aspects of learning development away such as, the ability to express, the space for project-based learning, and the opportunity to communicate their knowledge on campus. Watercolor painting is a medium that can help them understand how to cope with emotions because it is free flowing. STEM kits help their engineering plans come to life and make it tangible. Poster boards will aid my students in learning to visually communicate and apply, like a Call to Action.
