Hi, my name is Tianyan Hartlep. I live in Appleton with my husband Mike and two kids Julia (6) and Joshua (4). I was born in China and went to college in China. I came to USA 20 years ago to go to NC State for my graduate school in wood and paper science. I worked at Appleton for 11 years as a research engineer. before I became stay home Mom. I joined ACT program this fall to start my new journey to be trained to be a high school /middle school science teacher.
I think that our team was named after Kamen because he is an inspiration for us. He is a great teacher. He is persistent on research work. He takes the challenging project and working hard on it. His energy, his passion on his work is truly a good example for us.

Bernadette-Introduction
Introduction:
Hello. My name is Bernadette. I just recently moved Wisconsin from Illinois, and am excited about this new chapter of my life. I never imagined that I would be "blogging." Until recently I had not even read a blog. I did see the movie Julie and Julia; however. I do love to write, so it should be a fairly painless exercise, but apologize in advance if my writing inflicts boredom and/or is less than inspiring!
Background:
I live in the Baraboo, Wisconsin area and am enrolled in the ACT Program. I hope to have my teaching license in a few years. As a geologist, I have learned a great deal about our planet. I am constantly amazed by our natural world, and believe becoming a science teacher is a natural progression for me. I truly enjoy sharing my love of science, and look forward to learning methods to convey science concepts and ideas to students.

Meghan's intro
Hello, I am Meghan Johnson a student in the ACT! program through the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I am working towards a teachers license in 6-12th grade broad science. I have three children 5,7, and 10. We love spending time outdoors what ever the season. I love pets and happily share my passion of animals with our children.
I believe our team was named after Mr. Kamen because he is always looking to find a better way to do something. He doesn't work alone, always finding the best members for his research teams. Mr. Kamen takes on projects even when he feels that they are impossible. He does not make excuses, just progress.

Kailey
Hello all! My name is Kailey Fucaloro and I'm a 5th year student at Drake University. I'm currently enrolled in the elementary teacher education program there. My endorsements are social studies and reading. I recently left my job to take on 6 methods courses for school.For the past 8 semesters of school, I've taken on 4-5 class and worked an average of 32 hours a week. This is the first time in 6 years I haven't worked. So far I'm loving it! Most of my work background is centered primarily around children (My previous job was a team-lead at a daycare). I love working with kids and can't wait to become a teacher.
I could really feel the passion from Mr. Kamen's presentation. He did an excellent job explaining the process they used for creating the artificial limbs. Kamen was able to explain this process in a way of which any person, regardless of background knowledge, could understand. This reminds me of myself. So perhaps we are all educators that have the ability to covey complex ideas to students, enabling them to understand these ideas.

About Will
Hello,
I'm Will at senior (5th year) at UW-Oshkosh, I'm an elementary education major and math minor. I am passionate about my family and friends, sports, and of course children.
I thought that this speech was very heartfelt and real. It was nice to see something that isn't fake like most stuff on tv. It is amazing how far behind prosthetic technolgy was/is and how much can be accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. I was really glad I watched this video.

Introduction
Hi Everyone. I'm Andrea and I'm a junior at Drake University. I'm majoring in elementary education with endorsements in both social studies and reading. I'm from the Des Moines area and plan to stay here after I graduate. I love being outdoors in all seasons except winter, spending time with friends, and most of all spending time with my two-year-old son, Rome.
After watching the clip about Kamen it's clear that he is an extraordinary person. I think the easiest explanation of why this team was named after him is that we should all strive to be extraordinary teachers. I liked that Kamen included the detail about what a busy schedule he already had, before being asked to create what seemed like an impossible piece of technology. As teachers, that is something to keep in mind. Even though many of us will have busy schedules and limited availability, taking the time to help our students reach even what seem like impossible goals is something that should take top priority.

Alisa's Info
Hi everyone! My name is Alisa Roth, I am a senior elementary education major at Drake University with endorsements in reading, early childhood, and coaching. I absolutely love kids and I'm so interested in what goes on in their minds and why they do the things they do. I play volleyball at Drake so it takes up most of my time along with school. I have had a great experience at Drake and cannot wait to make a difference in children's lives.
I find Mr. Kamen's work very inspiring. I feel honored to be the team named after him. Anyone who accomplishes something that was once said could never be done is a hero in my book. Mr. Kamen had a very busy schedule but he still took time out of his day to help the kids that needed an arm. He found the technology to help these kids and changed their lives. I can only hope that one day I help children the way he did.
