My Project

I love that my students have really engaged themselves in the engineering and computer science classes that we have at our high school. My students began the school year a bit hesitant, but now many of them have built their confidence up and are really enjoying the lessons.

I want to create a smart STEM lab where students will rotate through a series of hands-on stations to really engage in them in project based learning that they take the lead on developing and completing the projects.

The LEGO building blocks and building plates that I have requested will be used in our hands-on STEM Lab Animation station.

Technology and engineering are great! Learning to code a language is great, but putting it all together to solve problems is life changing at this level.

When students see that they can tackle real world problems and come up with real solutions that they have worked collaboratively to solve, they are prepared for the careers of tomorrow.
