About me

Hi! My name is Amaria Hernández and I teach STEAM lab from 1st to 5th grade at the American School of Guatemala.

My background

I am from Guatemala, Central America. I can describe my experience in a very evolutive way. I started as a Science teacher and then with my school we moved to STEM approach and now we do STEAM. It’s been such a beautiful journey filled with great experiences. Now I am ready to learn more about Maker/Fab movement and digital fabrication. I expect from this certification to learn more real experiences beyonds the theory. My first activity is related with gears since I one of the units I teach is all about mechanisms. I want to bring this experience from cardboard to wood pieces printed through a lasser cutter machine. Visit this website to see my work!
