Cori Leyden-Sussler
KID Museum
Maker Educator
Silver Spring, MD
My name is Cori, and I'm a DMV-based Maker Educator and Fabricator.
I graduated with my BFA in Costume Tech/Technical Theater from University of Connecticut. After working for a few production houses, I returned to school to get my Masters degree in Puppetry, focusing on crafting skills. I graduated in Fall of 2017 with my M.A.
In addition to working in technical theater fields, I also worked my way through school as a teacher. I ran workshops and panels for college-age students as well as working with lesson plans and child care for primary school children. For the last three years, I've worked as a Maker-Educator at KID Museum teaching a variety of maker skills in STEAM fields.
