Kate Kogge has been teaching for seven years and is a science educator from Charlottesville, Virginia. During her time within Albemarle County Public Schools, she has developed interdisciplinary, community-centered projects alongside her talented colleagues and students, oftentimes in collaboration with businesses and nonprofit organizations in the region. In recent years, Kate and her team have partnered with MIT’s Playful Journey Lab, MakerEd, and Youth-Nex on student-centered educational programming and practices. Kate’s projects at CLS have connected her students with scientists, engineers, artists, activists, business leaders, researchers, and change makers in the Charlottesville area and beyond. She believes strongly in the power of student voice and agency and that even the youngest learners have the power to make an impact on the world through their work.
