Services
I provide elementary STEM consulting services for educators in grades K-6.
These services include professional development and resources to help educators foster STEM literacy in elementary students through the integration of STEM activities with their core curriculum standards.
I provide teacher training and create standards-based, hands-on engineering design based lessons using inexpensive materials. Resources include an elementary STEM guidebook, related articles, websites and lessons.
Professional development experiences could include any of the following:
