I am exploring the topic of the dignity of teachers & teaching. I am interested to interview teachers who have experienced contexts where you felt that you and your profession were accorded dignity and stories of dignity that was taken away. Please dm me if you are interested.

Designed with @TERCtweets, the BioRobots curriculum engages students in biomimicry design challenges. Students study the natural world to learn how animals accomplish different tasks and then design and build a robot inspired by what they learned.

STEM CARES was the very first program I developed and ran for Nebraska 4-H! Grateful to our funders @BellsBeyond for their support.
To re-invigorate rural communities after the pandemic, @UNLExtension, @Nebraska4H & @BellsBeyond designed STEM CARES to address the needs of rural child care centers & program providers. ⬇️
