For many years, I have been a STEAM-focused educator and in 2020 intentionally started working on environmental learning opportunities that I could, in turn, bring to my students. I strive to help my students think critically and creatively about many different STEM topics, and specifically environmental and social justice topics have helped them to see the important part that they hold in helping make the world a better, more sustainable, place in which to live, work, and grow.
