My Project

My students are explorers, investigators and creators. I am a middle school design teacher in Chicago Public Schools. Up to this point, in my design projects, we have focused mainly on computer design activities, but I feel the students are missing out on the opportunities to regularly interact and explore real-world applications of STEM concepts. The benefit from fun lab activities that encourage critical thinking and communication is immeasurable from the collaboration with peers to the creative engineering involved in building a solution.

My goal is to provide opportunities for hands-on learning, enabling students to experiment, tinker, and explore.

Through practical experience, students deepen their understanding, develop problem-solving skills, and foster a sense of curiosity that will remain with them throughout their lives.
