What is STEAM?

 STEAM in rides, shows, architecture, and games.
____________________________________________________________________________

Course Goals and Methods:
To explore ways in which each STEAM specialty is represented in Disney's Animal Kingdom through virtual field trips and interactive mini-projects. We will cover a new topic in each lesson, including: Hidden Mickeys, track switches on roller coasters, estimating heights using triangles, X-Rays and animal conservation, and phosphorescence in Pandora.

This class is designed to spark curiosity in a variety of STEAM topics. Additional resources are available on each topic by request if your learner wishes to learn even more!

Want more than one lesson a week? Consider the Disney STEAM : EPIC Combo Class that has 3 lessons each week!

Students will interact with each other and myself by posting in the discussion boards and sharing photos and videos of their mini-projects. Feedback (and if requested, grades) will be given for all submitted assignments.

Help and feedback are provided for all submitted assignments, and grades are available on request.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Teacher Abby is passionate about Disney, math, reading, traveling, Harry Potter, and knitting (which is just applied math). She and her husband have two energetic children and three rambunctious dogs. You could run into Teacher Abby at Disney just about every other weekend unless she is building robots, or visiting the tech center at the Orlando public library.

Teacher Abby has been an educator for over a decade, holds a masters in mathematics education, and has worked with over 1000 learners from elementary age to adults returning to college. She is currently a professor of mathematics specifically focusing on self-paced and online learning for two colleges and one high school. Teacher Abby has designed and taught several classes for homeschoolers as well as for those seeking enriched learning outside of the traditional educational box.

Teacher Abby is currently co-champion of the Central Florida Mensa mathematics competition, but is aiming to claim the title outright next year. She believes that everyone should love STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) and is converting reluctant students into engaged learners every year. Teacher Abby has also tutored over 150 students individually and through this has mastered teaching specifically to all learning styles.  Each of her classes is designed to work for students with any learning style and to be engaging for everyone!

Reviews of Abby's Teaching:
"Abigail is amazing at explaining difficult math concepts in fun and easy to remember ways that help a lot when it comes to tests. I struggled with college math and with her help managed to make an A+ in calculus of all things with multiple 100 scores. She is very nice and easy to talk to about difficulties in understanding and will not move on until the material is understood."

"My daughter got a 37% on her first honors physics test earlier this year. She's been working with Abigail once a week since then and just got a 96% on her final exam. Abigail did an amazing job helping her to understand the subject."

"Abigail has been great with my 16 year old daughter. We have worked with a number of tutors and we just could not seem to find one that worked well. My daughter is smart, she just needs some extra one on one explanation on math topics. Abigail is able to explain things in a way that is easy to understand and retain for homework later. She is worth every penny!"
