Maker Space Spotlight - VERAMENDI
This month’s Technology Spotlight is on Jennifer Mulero, IDEA Lab Instructor at Veramendi Elementary. Having retired from the United States Navy, Mrs. Mulero seamlessly blends her structured civil service background with her love for creativity to provide the perfect recipe for the MakerSpace environment. Trying to organize a variety of challenging tasks for students ranging in age from 5-11 would be a daunting endeavor for any teacher. Mrs. Mulero is able to structure her stations and differentiate her lessons using everything from Origami to OSMOS to Coding, providing a multitude of tasks that stimulate students’ creativity in an environment that encourages exploration without fear of failure. Great job, Jennifer!!!
