My name is Jacob Aringo and I am the STEAM teacher at Herbert Hoover Middle School. I’ve been teaching for about 8 years as a high school chemistry teacher and had many roles in schools including math and technology teacher as well as being an activities director and 5 years as a STEAM Teacher. Out of the school setting, I am currently a boxer and formerly a Muay Thai boxer and trainer at Fight and Fitness Gym. I love to walk my dog, play my guitar, make music and videos, see a good musical, do some gardening, and read a good book.
I've attained my Masters in Instructional Technology. I am currently applying the concepts of instructional and gamification design into the STEAM program so that I can meet the diverse learning needs and engage my students.
