## **About our Guest:**

For 32 years, I’ve been a passionate STEM educator at Southwestern Middle School
in Jamestown, NY. I specialize in Project-Based Learning (PBL), helping students
dive deep into STEM concepts through hands-on projects. My classroom is abuzz with
creativity, where students explore coding, robotics, LEGO building, and maker activities.
It’s all about igniting their curiosity and empowering them to become the next generation
of innovators!
