Sandy Roberts is the Education Program Manager at Science Friday, where she creates learning resources, content, and experiences to advance STEM equity in all learning environments.

Sandy earned her degree in chemical biology from Stevens Institute of Technology with a minor in literature and certificates in chemical engineering and computer science. After working in both pharmaceutical research and publishing, she transitioned her career to education when she started a family. Since then, Sandy has taught formally as a middle school STEM teacher with certifications in science and math and informally at local libraries, homeschool co-ops, museums, and camps. In 2019 she published The Big Book of Maker Camp Projects (McGraw-Hill 2019). She earned a graduate certificate in Maker Education at Rutger’s University and her M.A. in Community Based Education and Leadership with a focus on STEM education at Stevenson University.

When not teaching or writing, Sandy can be found tinkering in her home office, exploring the outdoors, or spending time with her family—sometimes all three at once. Lately she’s been playing with origami circuits, relearning micro-python, and trying to perfect a gluten-free sourdough recipe.
