My Project

This project is an important goal of mine. I work with a variety of students in an urban community. Creating a positive and safe place for students to come and enjoy building with LEGO building kits and socializing with peers, is impactful.

My goal is to provide a positive social environment for students to feel safe and able to express themselves.

Team building is key to positive social communication. Students will work in teams to build and race cars. I strongly believe that providing a positive environment will lead to a positive future. Exposing my students to the world of STEM allows them to learn about all possibilities the world has for them. My mission is to show and teach my students about the world around them.
