Course Instructor: Ryan Gilligan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with certification in early and middle school education, and a Master’s degree in Educational Technology from Ramapo College of New Jersey. He has been instilling a love of project-based, experiential learning in his students for over fifteen years. For the past eight years, Mr. Gilligan has developed New Jersey Public School standards-based STEM Programs for one of Bergen County’s most competitive districts, and supported the curriculum development of other NJ-based districts by hosting professional development programs and conferences for teachers looking to implement his innovative approaches to learning. Mr. Gilligan’s own experience as an energetic (and – often – challenging) young learner has informed his approach to his students today, and sparked his passion for reaching, engaging and inspiring each participant in his courses. He founded STEMpowered to reach more young learners with the exciting and innovative world of STEM.
