Katherine Struth

Katie stepped foot into the informal education world three years ago. Since then, she’s worked at nonprofits, schools, and conservation districts to bring hands-on science to youth. Her main interest is in developing curriculum that connects youth to the outdoors and healthy food. Katie’s new to the SXSW EDU conference, and is excited to collaborate with others from both informal and formal education backgrounds. Katie spends her working time mentoring AmeriCorps educators, and her off work time exploring Austin’s green spaces, identifying cool insects, and growing her vegetable garden.
