Aileen Owens

Owens, the district's director of technology and innovation, won for implementing an innovative, unique school model that fosters authentic learning in an unconventional way. Over the last four years, Owens has led the implementation of a computational thinking program that starts in kindergarten and builds at each grade level through high school. Students use Scratch to move from block-based code to text-based code, programming Legos and Arduino boards. Students even develop their own apps. The comprehensive program empowers students to be designers and creators from their first day in school and throughout their educational experience.
