Catherine (she/her/hers) is a middle school math teacher who is always learning new things and enjoys working on hands-on activities such as making geometric art,  number puzzles, and games with students. She was very excited to launch a two-stage balloon rocket and bottle-rocket for the first time while putting together the aviation curriculum. She hopes that you will also get to experience these exciting activities for yourself.
