` Monday Message - April 29, 2019 - Colorado SKIES Academy

Monday message 04.29.2019

My name is Zach Vine and I’m the Director of Staff and Learner Programs at Colorado SKIES Academy. I provide instructional leadership to our facilitators and help ensure our academic programs are preparing your learner for success at CSA and future careers in the aerospace and aviation industries.

What is it about Colorado SKIES Academy that attracted me to pursue working there?

I’ve been especially interested in aerospace education since my students’ experiment was rocketed aboard the International Space Station and conducted by NASA astronauts. The CSA team recognized my experience supporting project-based learning and driving achievement as in invaluable skill set for supporting our facilitators and learner programs at CSA.

What would learners be surprised to know about me? Learners might be surprised to find out that I’m an ultra-marathon runner and love hiking in the mountains of Colorado. I’m also a dedicated father and husband and look forward to the day when my kids are attending Colorado SKIES Academy.

Want to connect? Email me anytime!

If you think there’s a way you can help to advance our mission, or you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Zach Vine
Director of Staff and Learner Programs
