Today’s episode is very special because I have my very first guest here on the Elementary STEM Coach Podcast. In this episode, I talk to Jen Sevy, a K through Five STEM teacher in Colorado. Jen shares with us how she implements engineering design sprints during her students' design challenges in a day. You're going to love her creative ideas for how she taught these quick one-day lessons using the Engineering Design Process, which are perfect if you see students once a week or if you need an extra boost in your sub plans.

All About Jen

Jen Sevy has been teaching for 18 years. She taught third grade for eight years, then worked to earn her Masters in Technology Integration and moved into a position teaching Technology as part of the specials rotation at her school. For the last three years, she has been teaching STEM and has found her happy place! She loves anchoring everything she teaches with the Engineering Design Process and sees so much value in students understanding the process. Her goal for her students is to experience joy every day in her classroom.
