About Nicole's Community Action Project (CAP)

My community action project involves students in arts and crafts using recyclable or reusable materials. This project is entitled “Trash to Treasure." The aim of the project is to ensure students, individually and/or collaboratively, think how to transform garbage and be more responsible to prevent pollution.

I am a science educator at St. Jago High School with a strong interest in STEAM education and the use of technology in the classroom.
