Amanda Clapp, Fellowship at TekTone in Franklin, NC

Hi Folks!

I am a middle school STEM teacher at The Catamount School, a Lab School run by Western Carolina University in partnership with Jackson County Schools. I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, and I’ve been developing a resource for Project-Based Learning for myself and others to encourage this kind of authentic, experiential learning.

As part of the STEMwork cohort in the Kenan Fellows Program, I am interning at TekTone in Franklin, NC. I am developing Project-Based Learning units to help my students learn about the variety of skills they can develop for great local jobs.
