Brooke Knutson loves the outdoors and spends a lot of time hiking, climbing, and napping in grassy fields. She is a strong believer in the transformative power that the outdoors can have on children from all types of backgrounds. Brooke spent a large amount of her early school years in the outdoors, and she feels that it gave her a lot of the foundation that she has helped create and successful and happy life. She hopes to bring the same experience to children by connecting them with nature and the world around them so they can learn to lead creative, inspired, and healthy lives. Additionally, she hopes to instill in children what it means to be a global citizen and how to care for the earth and the people around them.

In addition to an emphasis on Elementary education, Brooke has also studied for Spanish for many years and hopes to bring a love for the earth to children in other countries and to be able to connect with students here in the states from diverse backgrounds.

She believes that coding and computational thinking is important for students because it teaches them critical thinking skills and helps them to solve problems in new and innovative ways. These skills will be crucial in making our future world a better a brighter place.
