Kai Catania is a sophomore at Millersville studying Secondary Social Studies Education. They were motivated to start this project in their freshman year when they were presented with a task to research anything that interested them. They are passionate about this topic because of their interest in military history, and they find Friedrich von Steuben to be a very interesting person. Kai wanted to give Steuben more recognition for his contributions to the United States Army with this project. They will use the skills they gained when making this project to recognize proper structure and educate on research strategies in their future classroom. They will also use their research to broaden their historical context and better understand the American colonial period. After graduation, they are hoping to start working as a high school World History teacher.
