I manage the use of technology for learning in a nontraditional setting as I facilitate and run our STEMulate Academy. This annual STEM camp brings third through fifth graders together to engage in the engineering design process and learn through hands-on STEM experiences. Below is a video compilation of the past two years of this camp experience.

Each year I collaborate with Dr. Deborah Dailey, Dr. Alicia Cotabish, Dr. Nykela Jackson, Mrs. TJ Hendrix and Mrs. Michelle Buchanan to develop curriculum and host a STEM camp for local students in grades 3-6. Our camp is called STEMulate Academy. We work together with inservice teachers to develop PBL curriculum that is interdisciplinary and focused on the engineering design process. Inservice teachers collaborate with university faculty in the creation and facilitation of the camp curriculum. Below is an example of some curriculum that was created for the camp and images show facilitation of the curriculum as well as a video showing the management of digital devices and physical materials.
