Learn MoreI love to learn about science, and decided to try teaching. I quickly fell in love with teaching. Working alongside future innovators, doctors, engineers is so much fun! You just need to provide engaging content that sparks curiosity, and soon even the most discouraged science learner begins to participate.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOffering field trip opportunities to kids, seeing them take advantage of them and grow to love science is the most memorable. Kids who did not think science was for them, did not think they would want to go to college, then change their mind after becoming curious about science is so powerful.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would purchase some hands-on models for my students. I would attend more professional development opportunities (some cost money to attend) so that I can take back new ideas to my students.
