I thrill at the challenge of building worlds, crafting stories and finding ways to inspire kids to see their surroundings in a new way. In 2007, I created ScrapKins®, a Recycled Arts Enrichment program that inspires children to see the creative potential in everyday junk. I've presented STEAM workshops and interactive building experiences to K-6 students at schools around the world and designed content and events for Sesame Workshop, Whole Foods, Seventh Generation, American Museum of Natural History, Skirball Museum, Maryland Science Center, NY Hall of Science, Boston Children’s Museum, World Science Festival, Maker Faire, and Scholastic Afterschool. >> Learn more about ScrapKins: www.Scrapkins.com And there was that time I was on Sesame Street.
