Katrina Roddenberry is the Clinical Education Coordinator at Flagler College-Tallahassee, as well as an adjunct professor. She formerly taught middle and high school science at Florida State University Schools and eighth-grade science at Wakulla Middle School in Crawfordville, in addition to teaching fifth and third grade for nine years at Riversink Elementary School. She was the lead teacher of NASA’s Microgravity Experience in 2013. Students at her school designed and built an experiment that she and four other teachers later tested aboard a reduced gravity aircraft. In 2015, she was the coordinating teacher of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) project. Using amateur radio, students asked an astronaut aboard the ISS about life in space as it orbited over the school. She is thrilled to be a member of the inaugural 2017-18 Space Exploration Educator Crew program, as it has enhanced her STEM content knowledge, space-related instruction, and teaching practices. Above all, Roddenberry wants students in her region to benefit from her participation in the program. She is passionate about sharing her experiences to help provide meaningful STEM opportunities and learning for all students.
