My Project

As a dedicated STEAM educator, I am committed to fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration among my students. By acquiring hands-on coding materials, I will gain valuable skills in robotics and coding, enabling me to bring real-world, project-based learning experiences into the classroom. This will not only enhance my teaching practices but also inspire my students to engage in innovative, tech-driven projects that align with 21st-century skills. The knowledge gained will help create dynamic STEAM units that encourage creativity, teamwork, and practical application of concepts, preparing students for future success.
