Shannon Pangalos-Scott is an educator, inventor, and artist in the Pacific Northwest. While acquiring her formal education, her academic focus was divided into three primary disciplines in astrophysics, STEAM education, and fine art. This combination of holistic and linear thinking allowed her to focus on a career path that would strengthen her qualitative and quantitative skills. As part of Shannon's education, she put considerable focus on developing a curriculum centered around STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) education. The goal was to produce an extensive, interdisciplinary, hands-on curriculum connecting the four classical liberal arts of the quadrivium which consists of music, geometry, cosmology, and arithmetic and the modern definition of STEAM. To date, she has had over 80 workshops, each including an interactive build or mechanism that could be used to help explain what is being taught. She has built and designed over 150 demonstrators, mechanisms, and artistic productions to be used with the workshops or as stand-alone installations. Shannon is working towards a Master's in Teaching for Secondary Science Education. In addition to her education, she has over 20 years of experience as a commercial designer and muralist, and over ten years as an educator with the military's Child & Youth Services, as a mentor and program manager for the Astronomy & Cosmologies programs at The Evergreen State College, and as a teacher within the North Thurston School District. She also volunteers with the Institute for Student Astronomical Research, Binary Star Research seminars as an educator and project manager, leading student researchers within diverse communities of practice and citizen science. Shannon loves science education, especially community outreach. There is something wonderful about sharing seemingly complicated knowledge with people in a way where they feel inspired and empowered after they learn it. Her goal as an educator is help people realize that they are capable of learning or doing so much more, than the "box" that they have either put themselves in or that society has.
