Kellie is passionate about helping teachers engage students through meaningful coding and STEM activities and encouraging students to move beyond navigating technology to creating it for themselves. Kellie lives in Woodbridge, Ontario with her family. Greg Johnson, BSc in physics, BEd, is a classroom science teacher in Manitoba. He has taught in rural Manitoba, New Zealand, and in the St. James-Assiniboia School Division. He has been at Westwood Collegiate for 16 years as a teacher and department head. Specializing in physics, Greg teaches grades 11–12 Physics and IB Physics. He has also taught IB Chemistry, Science, and Mathematics. Greg has been a board member of the Science Teachers’ Association of Manitoba since 2008, as member- at-large and vice president. He is interested in technology and maker education, which has led him to create a maker space and maker club at Westwood Collegiate.
