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.
