"All aboard!" for our weekly social club for young railfans! This is an ongoing weekly class where you can showcase and discuss your railroad photography, trains, model railroading, and engage in other railroad-themed conversations. We meet all year long, so students can join the club at any point. Bring along your pictures of locomotives, cars, tracks, stations, crew, equipment, model railroads, and even graffiti and hobo tagging. Whatever aspect of railroads interests you, we welcome it! We're also excited to see railroad-themed art projects, books, and hear about your Roblox and Minecraft layouts, as well as other virtual railroading games! Depending on student interest, we may incorporate hands-on projects, focus on specific themes, share fascinating railroad facts, and explore the preservation and restoration of railroading history. No need for fancy equipment or special skills - just bring your enthusiasm for talking about trains, capturing train photos, and learning more about them. We welcome everyone, from beginners to experienced railroad photographers and railfans. Let's learn from each other and provide encouragement along the way!
Metas de aprendizaje
In this weekly club students will have the opportunity to share their work, receive encouraging feedback, and improve their photography skills and knowledge of trains and railroading... while making new friends who share a common interest!

Lista de útiles escolares
Participants should bring their excitement about trains, as well as be ready to whatever train related content they have for approximately 3-8 minutes (depending on the number of students in class.) Those who don't feel comfortable sharing are always welcome to hang out, join in conversation, or just listen and enjoy the time with other railfans! For your first week in class, please bring a picture of your favorite locomotive or other railroad equipment (you don't have to be the one who took it) so we can get to know each other better!

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Prior to the pandemic, I was the camp director for a railroad summer camp. I spent 11 years working for a historic railroad offering tours, shop experiences, and planning special events and educational programs to help young railfans grow in skills related to their interest in trains... from hands-on experience restoring these amazing machines, to small scale models, as well as the history of the people who's lives were shaped by the railroad industry.
I also have many years of experience working to create a railfanning space that is safe and inclusive for neurodiverse young people (Autism, ADHD, and various other learning/processing differences.) I enjoy helping all my students share their interests and learn group social skills (like taking turns listening and sharing, and finding a way to engage with other people's interests that differ from our own) and endeavor to foster a safe space where everyone has the opportunity to share, be heard, and participate in the way most comfortable and enjoyable for them. If you have any concerns about how your child might best be included in and enjoy this class, please don't hesitate to contact me!
