課堂經歷
Over the past decade learning through STEM has grown in popularity. When students are learning through STEM they are increasing their ability in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It allows students to explore new topics through creative ways which get them EXCITED to learn! Each week we will learn a new STEM topic through a fun and kid friendly experiment. I will perform the experiment each week for students to see and enjoy. Students will be able to work on their critical thinking skills to decide what the best way is to complete each experiment. Students can follow along with me and perform the experiment as I am doing it or try it on their own after watching the video!
學習目標
Students will learn STEM concepts while performing kid-friendly experiments.

供應清單
Rocket Flying Experiment - Some pieces of paper (I use construction paper but computer paper works fine!), some clear tape, a straw and a pair of scissors. What's The Strongest Shape Experiment - 3 pieces of paper (I use construction paper, but you can use computer paper!), some tape and some items to add weight to the shapes. You can use books, magazines, folders, really anything you have a bunch of at your house! Paper Bridge Experiment - 4 pieces of paper (I use construction paper but you can use computer paper!), clear tape, and some coins. If you do not have coins, you can use anything small that can add weight to the bridge. Egg Drop Experiment - Eggs (not hard boiled), a container to hold the eggs and some soft items to protect the egg. For our experiment I will be using bubble wrap, marshmallows and paper towels. You could also use rubber bands for the top of the container to keep the egg in.

Throughout my almost 2 decades in education, I have worked with students from Preschool all the way up to college. After receiving my education degree from SUNY Brockport, I received my Masters' Degree in Educational Administration (School Building Leader and School District Leader) from Lehman College. I have spent over a decade working for NYC DOE and also spent two years working at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University.
My experiences with students in all of these age groups taught me one thing, over and over again -- one size fits none. You can't mass produce education, it only works well if it's individualized, and if lessons are taught in ways that excite, interest and engage each student. In 2012, I started a company focusing on unique and individual learning techniques. Our in-person classes taught a myriad of educational lessons through mediums that gripped my students -- we taught math concepts through movement games, language and writing skills through art, etc. During the coronavirus pandemic, I transitioned that same concept to my Outschool classes -- it's a platform that I love because it allows me to tap into kids' niche interests in an even more drilled down way than I could do in person. Now, whether my younger students are learning about a certain calculation technique via a Pokemon character, or my older ones are discussing their true passions as a way to figure out how to get into their dream colleges, I'm most satisfied with my work when I'm meeting kids right where they are. Seeing a child learn something new while he or she is showcasing expertise in a subject area of passion is a win for me and for the student. I learn from my students every day, and I'm thrilled when they feel like they've grown and gained in each class, too.
