Claire Hasson

STEAM Educator | Experiential Learning Designer

I specialize in building future-ready learning experiences that integrate technology, sustainability, and creative, student-centered engagement.

With a background of 8+ years in international education as an American licensed educator, I design and deliver interdisciplinary curriculum for upper elementary students, with a focus on making learning meaningful, hands-on, and connected to the real world. My work blends educational technology, including robotics and maker-centered learning, with inquiry-based and experiential approaches, including outdoor and project-based learning, to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration.

I co-developed a STREAM (STEM-based interdisciplinary) program that integrates literacy, technology, and sustainability through real-world problem solving and applied learning. Through this work, I incorporate Career and Technical Education (CTE) competencies, digital literacy, and design thinking to help students build transferable, future-ready skills.

I bring a strong focus on student engagement and learning design, creating environments where students actively explore, create, and connect their learning to global challenges, particularly through the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

I am continuously expanding my skill set through professional development in emerging technologies and AI in education, and I'm interested in opportunities in curriculum development, educational consulting, and creative, project-based work.
