STEAM Queens: Women in Engineering
Sadie (Sarah) Thiagarajan
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(11)
In this 12-week online course, we will explore the lives and work of pioneer women in engineering, from ancient to modern times.
Class experience
Women of Engineering is one section of an ongoing series called STEAM Queens. Each series features twelve amazing (and often forgotten) women in the world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.) Women are often overlooked as innovators in the realm of STEAM, but no more! By focusing on the under-told stories of women, learners will come to see the great diversity of ideas and influences that have made our world an incredible place to live in. Join me in this...
Students will learn about the Engineering innovator of the week. They should be able to verbalize several facts they have learned, including a basic biography, the woman's greatest contribution to the world of engineering, and at least one interesting or unusual fact.
I worked as a Math Intervention Specialist for four years in a public charter school in California. I have taught math, science, art, and run a computer lab. The STEAM Queens project (then called "Women of STEM") was begun in preparation for International Women's Day, 2017. I am currently working on several STEAM-related projects as part of my Washington State Teacher re-certification.
Method of note taking, if desired. Curiosity and enthusiasm are strongly encouraged. Additional information such as links and supplemental activities will be posted on the classroom message board.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I am a polymath, a person who has many interests and loves all kinds of learning, over many subjects. I am also an auto-didact: I love to learn on my own. so very likely, I'm a lot like you. I have taught many subjects, but some of my favorites...
