Teacher Feature: Maddie – Chatham 2023 Week 1

One of our favorite parts of International Ivy is getting to know our new campers and staff members! Here at Chatham we had Maddie join us as a new staff member. Maddie taught Kitchen Chemistry in the morning and Chemical Engineering in the afternoon.

In Kitchen Chemistry, Maddie guided campers in making strawberry jam, pizza, smoothies, pudding, and other tasty treats! The campers gave Maddie raving reviews and our returning campers even noted that Kitchen Chemistry was one of their favorite Ivy classes after taking it with Maddie.

In Chemical Engineering, campers worked on making bioplastics and bouncy balls. Maddie even threw in her own flare and encouraged campers to let their creativity run wild by having campers make something new using previous materials from other projects. Campers ended up making edible utensils that they could not only utilize but could eat as well!

We are so impressed with Maddie’s hard work this week– not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom as well. We can’t wait to have Maddie back in future weeks and also have more opportunities to meet other new rockstar teachers in future weeks as the summer carries on!
