167. STEM Educator Turned CEO ft. Liz Gallo of WhyMaker
Show Summary:
Natasha chats with a former STEM educator turned founder and CEO of WhyMaker, Liz Gallo. Liz is on a mission to design the future of education, where teachers act as learning engineers, equipping their students to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
Listen in as they chat about her decade-long experience as a technology and engineering educator and her transition to being the leader of WhyMaker, which has made a tangible impact on over 15,000 educators worldwide, inspiring a new generation of innovators and problem-solvers. She also shares her vision for STEM education, not just as an elective, but as a transformative approach to school. Part of this vision is bringing the real-world into the classroom, such as her work in partnering with companies in the sustainability sector to engage students with cutting-edge technologies, explore career pathways in clean energy, and contribute to solutions for global sustainability challenges. They also discuss her book, Educators Guide to Design Thinking, a practical workbook to implement project-based design experiences with your students.
