My Story

After struggling to find a teaching job in art or English, Aaron Straus pivoted to educational technology at the advice of a mentor. What started as a short-term teaching position in the subject turned into a career. For many years, Straus served as an instructional coach and STEM coordinator at Salamanca City School District, where he led a task force to start Salamanca’s summer STEAM Camp and helped design a state-of-the-art STEM center. He is now the creative engineering coordinator at University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, where he oversees the university’s new makerspace, machine shop and projects lab.
