Carly Sapp

I am an Innovation Teacher for Redlands USD supporting teaching with all things tech and innovation. I LOVE using Ozobot to create lessons that integrate with the standards teachers are teaching. Ozobot increases engagement, gets students excited to learn, and increases retention of skills.

Carrie Willis

I love being a STEAM educator because it allows me to ignite curiosity and creativity in my students, helping them solve real-world problems through hands-on learning. Seeing them connect different curricular concepts, and grow confident in their ability to think critically, is incredibly rewarding.

Christine Thai-Pappa

I am a STEAM Coach at an elementary school and I love my job! STEAM education is so very important as it builds crucial skills like problem solving, creativity, communication and critical thinking. We have to teach our learners to be thinkers so that they are able to navigate situations throughout their lifetime - and STEAM is a key component to accomplishing that.

Dawn Zamora

As an Elementary STEM educator, I’m all about helping students explore how science, technology, engineering, and math connect to the world they live in. I love seeing their excitement when they realize they can solve real problems with creativity and critical thinking. Being part of those ‘aha’ moments is what keeps me inspired every day!

Emily Byers

I am our district STEAM Facilitator and I run one of our AWS Think Big Spaces. I LOVE watching students (and adults) work through challenging problems and finally see the excitment that comes when solving said challenging problems. I love watching students (and adults) be 100% engaged in what they're doing and learn new concepts and ideas in different, hands-on ways. STEAM is exciting and I love teaching students, but also teaching educators how to elevate their lessons to meet the needs of all student learners.

Janice Beard

Hello! I am Janice Beard and the founder of STEAM STARZ. Inspired by my two young kids, I created an enrichment business to support and encourage the next generation of creative thinkers and problem solvers. I love being a STEAM educator because it allows me to foster curiosity and innovation in young minds, helping them explore the world around them through hands-on, minds-on learning. Seeing students' excitement as they learn how to code and program robots as young learners brings me a lot of joy.

Kimberly Folson

I love being a STEAM educator because it allows me to inspire creativity and critical thinking in students while bridging the gap between science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

Melissa Zeitz

As a passionate CS educator, I love sparking curiosity and creativity in students through hands-on, real-world projects. Helping them connect concepts in STEM and CS to solve problems and explore new ideas is incredibly rewarding. I’m especially excited about creating inclusive learning environments that empower all students, particularly girls and underrepresented groups, to see themselves as innovators and changemakers.

Nancy Tavarez

I am a 7th year teacher, in my 4th year as a tech teacher and I am loving it! I believe that STEAM has a unique way to challenge students by encouraging them to think outside of the box. I really enjoy seeing the smiles on my student's faces when they solve a problem in STEAM.

Nikki Jones

Nikki Jones is an Instructional Technology Coach and loves integrating cs into the core content areas! In collaboration with the STEAM teacher they have built a foundation of coding for all K-5 learners! She has a passion for all things creativity, edtech and STEAM!

Susan Kunze

Hi! I'm Susan Kunze. I'm a veteran elementary teacher and a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. STEAM is my jam! Since retiring, I volunteer in local schools, providing STEAM lessons to children in our community. Using Ozobots is one way I can really make an impact to support student learning using STEAM.

Trish Henry

I am an elementary teacher-librarian/tech specialist. The focus of our library/tech program is hands on STEM in connection with literacy. Ozobots were one of the first tools we adopted to provide hands-on learning with robots.

Wendy Townlin

Math and science were my favorite subjects to teach before StEM was a ‘thing’. Started STEM program at my school with colleague. Found the ease to adopt and incorporate into classroom promising when students with learning challenges were excelling in class both socially, academically and also becoming leaders in order to participate in the activities. Win. Win.
