She supports educators across the United States (and internationally) with tools to engage and inspire students the next generation of scientists, explorers, conservationists, and storytellers. Alexandra writes: "On a daily basis I have the pleasure of interacting with educators from across the country who are doing really cool things to teach kids about the world and how to make it a better place. One big (literally) project I worked on this year was our Giant Traveling Maps - these are 16 x 20 foot maps that kids can walk and do lessons on - they are an awesome way to introduce geography and map reading skills, and its super fun to see little kids geek out about 'standing' on their town."
