System Thinking: Batteries and Electric Cars
In this lesson developed by Northwestern’s Reach for the Stars program, students will explore the basics of a battery, measure the voltage of batteries, look at energy transformation and how it fits into the larger system of an electric vehicle.
Deep Dive Data
Complex organizations like Lockheed Martin gather large amounts of data from various sources. While data collection has been automated, data analysis and communication still requires human capital.

Pics or it Didn’t Happen
As a summative assessment, students will design their own research question and implement the research. In pairs, they will present their research project in a scientific poster to faculty and community members.
Signal through the Noise: Data Literacy as Self-Empowerment
In today’s increasingly digital world, we produce (and continue to produce) large amounts of data about things ranging from test scores, to social media posts that we “Like” or “Comment”, to online shopping recommendations, to how safe (or not) a new engineering design could be, to self-driving c

Turning a Physics Class into a Virtual Lab
The purpose of this ETP is to develop an open-ended process for students to learn physics and coding in python. This process will include four steps. The first step will be to learn the physics concepts by direct instruction: given the principles, examples and exercises.
