Hello! I’m Macey Smith – one of the teachers collaborating on this project. I began my teaching career in 2019 and look for any opportunities that will widen my scope and better prepare me to educate our next generation. This project has an excellent team of well-versed individuals determined to make the wonderful city of Des Moines a safe place to live and be. My part in this project is educating students and other teachers through a science curriculum designed in partnership with another teacher (Connie Simonsen) and Iowa State faculty (Ulrike Passe & Katherine Bruna). We have taken important aspects of this project and made it student-friendly to ensure that our youth are looking toward a brighter and safer future. I look forward to the continued work ahead of us.
