Hi! My name is Jill Schenk and will be teaching one computer science class for grades 9-12. I plan to use the yearlong curriculum for the CS Discoveries class, but don’t expect to get through it all for my first year teaching this. I am excited for students to problem solve more on their own and try the coding activities.

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

Hi from Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women in Rochester, NY! This will be my first time teaching MS technology and I am diving in feet first. I am creating curriculum for Tech 6, 7, and 8, so I have a lot to do in little time. Tech 8 will use the The Design Process course then I’d love to add another App creation course or one related to AI. Any suggestions are greatly apprecaiated.
Have a great year!
