Just received an email from a former student telling me she got accepted to Stanford. She thanked me for her middle school years in the Fab Lab Marymount School NY. What a great feeling to know I've made a difference in even one child's life.

After two years of zoom teaching and one year of teaching kids in acrylic cages, it feels amazing to be back working with students in a brand new maker space!
