Kelsy Achtenberg

Achtenberg’s innovative teaching project, “Empowering Minds Through STEM Exploration,” is designed to enhance student learning by incorporating hands-on, project-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities into the classroom. The overall goal of it is to provide students with real-world experiences that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and collaboration. According to Achtenberg, this project addresses the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application within STEM, offering students opportunities to engage in meaningful learning experiences. The Voya grant will financially assist in creating a dynamic learning environment that equips students with skills essential for success in the 21st century.
