What made you want to join this project?:
I find it encouraging when there are teams of people willing to work hard to provide an accessible resource to educators and students. As a future educator, I already hear negative things about the field. But I wanted to be apart of this positive and knowledge-building project so that I could be a part of the change that I want to see. Changing conversations, building confidence in those who
educate on science, and those who are learning this information for the first time.


Where do you see this project going?:
I see this project being a meaningful success. Not just another lesson plan template from Google, the STEAM Titanic Augmented Reality Project propels exponential learning and promotes active learning, literally.

What do you to learn from this project?:
Already having read through several of the standards from a curriculum standpoint, I have begun to understand science in way that I have not before. When I was in grade school science was not my favorite area of study, but I am beginning to see how it not as weary as it once appeared. I plan on not only diving further into basic science concepts but am thrilled to be learning a new use for technology.

Where do see yourself in 10 years?:
Faith is a big part of my life and so my answer is wherever God leads me too. I know that I want to surround myself with family, love, and music. That is the same today and tomorrow.
