Sheree Petrignani

I love teaching STEM to an all-girls school since these young women don't have enough female role models. They become my lifetime students!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I worked for a corporate engineering firm and realized that women need a push into the STEM field. Amazingly, women in STEM are still only 33% of the engineering work force.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I was the first female coach to create the 1st all-girls robotics team in NYC, NYS, northeast and Canada. I continue to be the only female coach to date with an only all-girls team for the Archdiocese of NYS that competes in robotics competitions. Please refer to my Signature Program at my high school St. Catharine Academy in the Bronx, NY in the link below. https://www.scahs.org/apps/pages/STEM

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to continue to fund both my robotics team and drone team for supplies, transportation, food and tournament registrations plus a dependable car to drive daily.
