In this exciting class we are going to learn about fearless women who broke the mold and shook the world. They became adventurers, explorers and pioneers in their fields. Together we will travel to depths of the sea, to all corners of the world, to outer space and back in time! These women are from 1200 years ago until now. Some women you may have heard of but others will probably be new to you. Each class we will dive into one woman, who they are and why they paved the way for so many others in their explorations with their courage and determination. Students will have a chance for sharing, opinions, open discussion and questions during each class.Let's have some fun learning all about who these amazing people are! Please see below for a list of who we will be learning about each week.

My classes are fun and relaxed. Students are welcome to share as much or as little as they like. Students of all abilities are warmly welcomed.

This section is for ages 11-14 but I also have a section of this class for ages 7-10. Please see the below link to join that section:
