Matt Zigler is one of those teachers we need to clone and put into every school. Not only is he a fantastic artist, he uses his design skills to help kids create projects that help people in need.
He also views his job as a “maker teacher” a little like a librarian, pointing the way to resources that kids and staff members need.
The Wheelchair Stroller project his students created ended up all over the news, including NBC Washington and the CBS Evening News!
