Welcome to my Maker Showcase! My name is Vanessa Manzano and I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I am currently working toward a BS Chemistry degree and a composite science teaching certification for grades 7-12. I joined UTeach Maker because I have heard many people say that they did not like chemistry and I aim to change that by making it a memorable class in a positive manner for my students. Through Maker I can find ways to encourage my students to design and create things that aid in their learning process.

I am currently a student teacher of two high school chemistry classes. I have a separate website documenting my student teaching experience which can be found here.
