Dear Parents,
I am excited to have the privilege of teaching your student this school year. Whether your student is in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade I strive to engage students in activities focusing on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects. I truly believe it is important to introduce our students to possible career pathways in STEM at an early age.
My mission as an educator is to help develop young adults who are civically competent, creative, and curious problem solvers who will drive innovation and industry in the United States and our global society.
Our classroom is also on social media. I will post classroom projects and activities on both instagram and twitter as the school year progresses.
Additionally if your student has my class this current trimester be on the lookout for both a safety contract and a shop fee document that will be distributed to your son or daughter in the next week or two.

8th Grade Information
It is going to be a fun year for my 8th grade Gateway to Technology students. We will dive deeper into STEM related topics and learn how to think like an engineer this whole year. We will focus on five units through out the course: Design and Modeling, Magic of Electrons, Automation and Robotics, Green Architecture, and Flight and Space.
In addition to the classroom curriculum students will have the opportunity to work on some after school projects. One such activity that students may participate in is the robotics team. I will have more information regarding the Robotics Team and Technology Student Association soon.
Supplies needed:
Pens, Pencils, Ruler, Composition Notebook
7th Grade Information
If your student likes to design and build things this is the class for them. We will focus on both design and turning a design into reality using real world woodworking tools. Students will learn how to utilize tools safely and will have a chance to 3D print part of their project. I can't wait to start working with the students.

6th Grade Information
During 6th grade your student will be rotating every 6 weeks to a different elective course. My class will focus on engineering and the other STEM subjects. Our main project that students work on is a mini dragster. They will get to race these at the end of our 6 weeks together. If your student enjoys this class they can sign up in 7th grade to take Tech Exploration.
