STEM Star

The Takoma Park Recreation Department was fortunate to have a STEM Spring Break Camp this year. We wanted to highlight STEM camp instructor, Tosin Adetoro. Tosin taught the teens various STEM subjects, such as circuitry, robotics, and coding. Over Spring Break she kept the teen participants engaged and excited to learn about STEM.

Tosin has a bachelor’s in physics from Frostburg State University and a master’s in technology education from Virginia Tech. She also received her Educational Leadership and Administration Certificate from George Washington University.

“I believe that teaching STEM and STEAM in schools encourages creativity and problem-solving in students, while also teaching them how fun the world around them can be,” says Tosin. “The Spring Break camp with the City of Takoma Park challenged the campers to
use the engineering design process and the 4Cs (collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking) to solve design challenges. I am looking forward to building upon these activities in the upcoming summer STEM camp in June.”

Another fun week of STEM camp is lined up for teens, June 26-June 30. Register now for a fun and educational week.
