Orbit Earth Expo launched in Wisconsin in 2017. Based in River Falls WI, and Chicago, IL, the program delivers content to elementary and middle schools all over the state. Teachers and administrators love the alignment to WMAS standards and the unforgettable reference for students. These hard to teach concepts in astronomy are a snap for students when they are recalling information for the Forward Exams after experiencing Orbit Earth Expo!
Orb, along with his sun, George, and his appropriately scaled moon, travel to schools with their teacher friends, Bri Cassellius and Cynthia Shevokas.
Bri earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She has over 12 years experience teaching in elementary and middle school classrooms, Title I, and English Language Learning in Kansas and Wisconsin.
Cynthia holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Consciousness & Human Potential. She taught math and social studies to students in grades 4 through 12 at a holistic school for over five years and earned her 200-hour yoga teacher certification. Her passion for teaching is complemented by a love of astronomy, which she explored through her earlier community college studies in astrophysics. Bri & Cynthia can’t wait to introduce you to Orb!
