Program leader, Gina Tesoriero, has been a middle school special education teacher since 2007, entering the field as a New York City Teaching Fellow. During her time in the classroom, Gina designed STEM programming and presented classroom practices to an international audience. Student work from Gina’s classroom was showcased in the Science Scope Magazine write up on the Innovative Utensil Project.
