I am so honored to be selected as a 2013 Kenan Fellow! I so am excited to begin my journey.

What interests me about the fellowship is that I will be able to design my own STEM project. I would like to take aspects of some of the projects I have completed with my students in the past and create new and exciting hands-on lessons.  I am particularly interested in creating a project that focuses on aerial robotics. I currently teach middle school Technology Engineering and Design. Within my classes I have taught various land robotics to include First LEGO League and VEX Robotics. I have taught the underwater robotics with the SeaPerch and Waterbotics programs. I have also taught robotics and rocketry through the NASA Explorer Schools. I believe my past experience is a nice segue into aerial robotics. I believe it would be an excellent project to incorporate all aspects of STEM while giving students a unique experience.

So, I invite you along this journey with me as I explore the rewards and challenges of creating new exciting curriculum in the world of robotics.
