My Project

We are starting a STEM program at the high school level to give my students a leg up on the future. The world is in need of students who can think and engineer solutions to the problems of the future. I want to give them all the experiences they can build on to become those thinkers.

The tools, K'NEX kits and other materials will allow them to explore, design and build solutions to problems presented in class, and that they encounter in everyday life.

This will prepare them for college, trade school or wherever they find themselves in the future!
