This project introduces high school students to programming concepts through writing a Python script that finds and counts sunspots in real images of the Sun.
In the age of AI, data literacy is one of the most critical skills we can teach our students. As a STEM educator, data analysis is a constant thread in both my professional and personal life.
At SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, I learned how scientists use radio-frequency resonators and a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to characterize resonant cavities used in the search for axions, hypothetical particles that may explain dark matter.
This ETP teaches 8th grade science students how to analyze real-world data using scatter plots and lines of best fit. Students determine whether relationships are causal or correlational through group discussion and individual reflection.
This project translates complex research in statistical mechanics and AI from the Rotskoff Group at Stanford into accessible, hands-on learning experiences for high school students.
This lesson introduces students to polymers and cutting-edge 3D printing technologies (CLIP and iCLIP). Students engage with research papers, compare techniques, and explore applications in biomedical and electronics manufacturing while developing literature review and analysis skills.
Parasites play significant roles in ecosystem dynamics, influencing population dynamics, community structure, and nutrient cycling. This review explores the ecological significance of parasites and their interactions within ecosystems.
In this tabletop game, students play the role of professional research scientists in the Bent Lab @ Stanford University, they choose a big, global problem that transistor technology is related to, and their goal is to improve transistor technology, using experimentation related to materials and s
This lesson focuses on the engineering design process, linking it to the research conducted at the Shaqfeh lab at Stanford University, which is investigating the properties of fluids, specifically how they apply to de-wetting surfaces, and designing a new fluid for specific purposes.
