Educational Background and Personal Experience
Hello Pilots and Hawks! My name is Daniel Kodama. I am excited to be back for a third year as STEAM+ Science Specialist at Pacific Sky and Torrey Hills. I studied sustainability at San Diego State University and worked for over five years at an outdoor education nonprofit. I was able to take students on multi-day educational programs to various National Parks and other scenic areas. I obtained my teaching credential at CSU Channel Islands. My teaching experience prior to Pacific Sky was in 8th grade physical science classes.

What to Expect in STEAM+ Science
My goal is to have students solve problems and investigate their interests through hands-on experiences and collaboration. Students will be participating in a variety of activities to help them develop science-related skills and knowledge aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. I hope students will view themselves as curious and enthusiastic scientists, both in and out of the lab.

Life Outside the Hangar and the Hawk's Nest
When I am not in teaching, I spend most of my time outdoors. I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, camping, and skiing. Feel free to ask me more about any of those topics if you're interested! I also love reading, podcasts, and music. Please give me any of your recommendations!
