On this International Day of Women in Engineering, let's honor the achievements and contributions of women in the field of engineering. Let’s use this day to inspire and empower the next generation of female engineers. We can cultivate interest and curiosity in our students through interactive learning activities that incorporate technology and the engineering design process.

Introducing robotics and programming to K-8 students helps them develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skillswhile making learning hands-on and fun. Robotics education also encourages students to actively engage with their learning. Mimioby Boxlight has long been a proponent of preparing students for a future of diverse opportunities and experiences through their educational technology solutions, including STEM focused products. Today MimioSTEM is introducing the next generation of its popular and award-winning MyBot with the MimioMyBot Recruit.

Women and girls play a crucial role in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, which aim to solve big challenges like global pandemics, climate change, and improving communication through technology. In addition to being inclusive, increasing women's participation in STEM can boost our economy, reduce the pay gap, and create a more diverse and talented workforce, leading to innovative ideas and solutions.

Incorporating STEM instruction is a growing focus in early education classrooms, although, STEM-related concepts have long been part of a young child’s learning experience. Blowing soapy bubbles - science. Using a tablet or interactive display to play a learning game - technology. Stacking blocks – engineering. Counting to 10 – math. What may have been seen as simply creative play, the focus on STEM instruction has led to more refined planning on the approach, activities, and tools used.

The years have zipped by, and it still surprises me that I’m in my seventh year of teaching! In these seven years, I’ve taught grade 6 and grade 8 science - Life Science, Physical Science Honors, Comprehensive 1, and Comprehensive 3 Science. Currently, I’m enjoying my 8th grade science classes and have the privilege of serving as the Science Department Lead at my school. Teaching has been an experience, and science has always been a part of my life. I definitely have a passion for it!
