Engineering the Future by Disconnecting to Connect

Help me give my students the belief that anything is possible!!! In my classroom we do not say two words... "Can't & impossible." Thank you for showing my students what is truly possible when the world chooses kindness.

My Project

The Cardboard Construction Toolkit, Makey Makey, and other tools will allow my students to prepare for a world where engineers and electricians are jobs that will not be replaced by AI. My goal as an educator is to create a classroom that embraces students to take chances by failing. I celebrate failure and get more excited by failure versus success. As more and more careers are going to require critical thinking I want to provide a learning space where students are building and experimenting with physical and digital tools.

The future starts with the belief that anything is possible!!!

That is why students in my class never utter the word "impossible." Please help support my students as they prepare to change the future of humanity!!!
