Welcome

Welcome to the Ackley Institute of Technology

My teaching journey has taken me to Mount Olive, Sparta, and Randolph, where I’ve had the privilege of inspiring students to think critically, solve problems, and grow into confident collaborators.

For more than 20 years, I have mentored robotics teams across northern New Jersey, guiding students as they discovered the excitement of STEAM through creativity, teamwork, and innovation.

I look forward to helping your students on their journey through STEAM from 5th through 8th grade helping them develop a love and passion for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. Hopefully they can develop a love of these subjects and take that passion with them as they continue their education and beyond!

HMS LEGO Robotics

 

Starting this year I'm excited to partner with Mrs. Brenner to advise the HMS LEGO Robotics team. Here students will work hands on with their peers to design, engineer, and program a LEGO robot to compete in this international competition.
