Hello, My name is Megan and I will be teaching 6-8th grade. Each grade level will be working on a different course within the program. This summer I took a website development class using html. So that is one thing I am interested in, but I think the thing that I am most excited about is getting the students to use the problem-solving strategies and seeing what they can come up with. I love STEM ---
