Beginner Level
Join us for an exciting hands-on STEM adventure! In this class, students (ages 6-12) will explore the fascinating world of science, technology, engineering, and math through creative projects and challenges. Each week, we’ll build and experiment with fun activities such as designing paper rockets, engineering catapults, and exploring plant growth. Students will develop important STEM skills like problem-solving, experimentation, and creative thinking. Every activity is designed to encourage active participation and ignite curiosity about how things work in the world around them. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of projects and a deeper understanding of key STEM concepts, all while having fun! This class is perfect for young learners who love to build, explore, and discover new things!
Learning Goals
Students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills by completing hands-on STEM challenges.Students will explore foundational science, technology, engineering, and math concepts in a fun and engaging way.Syllabus

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Mercer University
I am a degreed teacher with over twenty years of experience teaching a wide range of subjects including High School Biology, where I developed a deep understanding of scientific concepts and cultivated a passion for teaching students how to explore and think critically about the world around them. My approach to teaching STEM focuses on hands-on learning and fostering a growth mindset, encouraging students to engage with materials and experiment in a fun, creative way.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with students of all ages, from early elementary to high school, helping them build confidence in their ability to solve problems and think independently. My lessons are designed to make complex topics accessible and exciting, allowing students to learn through active participation and exploration.
I am excited to share my experience and enthusiasm for STEM with your child and help them discover the joy of learning through interactive and engaging activities.
