Course Description:
Each session will start with a presentation about a career or industry in the STEM fields. After learning about that unique career, students will design and build a project that lets them explore that career or industry. Students will use their creativity to engineer a project all their own. This exercise will help them learn about that industry and how to use their imagination. Following is a list of the jobs being studied and the accompanying project.

Instructor Bio:
My name is Stephanie and I’m a homeschooling mom four kids, with a deep passion for education and nurturing a love of learning in children. With 17 years of homeschooling experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding my own children through their academic journeys, helping them grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
Over the years, I’ve not only enjoyed teaching my own children but also teaching at our co-op groups, and teaching Sunday school (25 years). I believe that learning should be engaging, individualized, and hands-on. I strive to create a well-rounded, enriching learning environment where children can develop critical thinking, creativity, and character.
Before homeschooling, I worked in a business environment in marketing, sales, and administration. I attended Northwestern University, where I received my Bachelors degree in Business. I have also served in Children's ministry at church my whole life and enjoy teaching kids of all ages about God's love for them. These experiences have helped shape my teaching methods and given me a broad perspective on learning both inside and outside the classroom.
