Teaching/Outreach

 

Between 2015-2018  I was part of the Reach for the Stars: Computational Models for Teaching and Learning in Physics, Astronomy and Computer Science (GK-12 program/NSF) program at the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA)
in Northwestern University.
This program places STEM graduate student fellows in K-12 science class- rooms for the academic year with the goal of enriching their education and strengthening their development as researchers by advancing their communication and teaching skills. GK-12 fellows will adapt concepts of computational thinking and actual computational modeling tools from their research work to classroom activities connected to the existing math and science curriculum (GK-12 ).
The lessons I developed for this program can be found at: Lesson Plans and Lesson Plans Website.
