Imène has built strong partnerships with schools across the Bay Area and beyond, and maintains close ties with a broad network of STEAM educators nationwide.
Imene has a beautiful and powerful way of describing the importance of developing our lens and practice toward equity and celebration of all in our work with students. I really appreciated the metaphors she offered for this (the poem, murmurations, etc.) and will take them into my work to center and ground our community in these values.
Imene's passion for empowering educators and igniting young minds through STEAM is infectious. The course provided a safe and supportive space for educators like myself to share experiences, learn from one another, and most importantly, explore the possibilities of Liberatory STEAM practices.
I appreciate how it is much more holistic approach to education than traditional STEM education. It really considers the student & the teacher for their unique cultural & social history.
