Jennifer Thomas loves to design interactive, multidisciplinary learning experiences for curious students of all ages. An alumna of the Robinson Center’s Early Entrance Program, she double-majored in classics and biochemistry, followed by graduate degrees in English and classics at the University of Illinois. Recently Jennifer has taught humanities to gifted 5-8^th graders, as well as coaching teams in DiscoverE’s Future City competition (including the 2021 regional champions).  She is passionate about inspiring young people to become the flexible, creative, and persistent problem-solvers our society will need to chart a better future. When not teaching, she enjoys making music, yoga, and hanging out with her three quirky kids and very fluffy dog.
