Inspiring NYC’s Students to be Leaders in STEM
Teach For America New York alum Jericsson Pichardo started an after-school robotics club and transformed the knowledge of his students in the world of science and engineering.
When Jericsson Pichardo (N.Y. ’16) joined Vista Academy, he thought it would be a good idea to create an after-school Robotics Club to help students develop and strengthen their engineering skills. Since then, this Brooklyn 6th grade science teacher has introduced students to a world of science & tech-based opportunities, from LEGO competitions to 3D printing. And that’s just the beginning.
