Geared Up STEM

Meet the Team

Wassup I'm Tacos! Also known as Christine on LEGO Masters Season 3. I grew up in the Bronx, NYC but now live in RI.

From working at a toy store to teaching Pre-K, working with children has always been a passion of mine. I went back to school for engineering and combined both passions of physics with play. By day I teach engineering classes with LEGO and at night I teach Zumba fitness to kids and adults.
