Hi hi hi!!!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Marieke and I am a curriculum design specialist. I design S.T.E.a.M. programming that uses dollhouse miniatures to teach the relationship between art/design and science/technology! Some of my favorite materials that I use to teach S.T.E.M. concepts are polymer clay (color mixing), silicone (plastic fabrication and rapid prototyping), paper (engineering and robotics), and basswood (architecture and electrical engineering).

I started off as an art conservator in Chicago, IL where I specialized in ethnographic textiles and fiber art (I even helped restore historical clothing artifacts for the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, WI). I later began teaching the science behind this art to middle school and high school students. Over the years, I developed multiple classes and workshops, lesson plans and assessments, and other educational material for people all over the United States, Canada, and China!
