Lori Towle, Executive Director of Code & Circuit, an Amesbury-based computer science school for children of all ages, will visit “The Morning Show” on Thursday, June 9th.
Host Mary Jacobsen will discuss Towle’s work with local schools and students to introduce the latest Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) technology to inspire children’s curiosity, problem solving, and creativity.
Towle, who has a doctorate in educational leadership and more than 22 years of teaching and administrative experience in K-12 public and private schools, will talk about her focus on student-centered learning, which enables each student to ignite and follow their curiosity wherever it takes them.
An advocate for “techquity,” or bringing technological equity to schools and students who might otherwise miss out on STEAM classes, Towle honors neurodiversity by focusing each learner on the question, “How are you smart?”
Towle is accompanied by her educational sidekick, Spot, a robotic dog whom she takes into classrooms, and sometimes for walks around town — provoking curiosity, engagement, and at times barks from passing canines.
