In this hands-on building project, students work in heterogeneous groups to build a model of a cell and describe the organelles and their functions.
Within the field of psychology, there are different approaches. This project is based on two psychological approaches, research psychology and social psychology. Students will be placed in groups. Groups will design and develop an invention to help their local community.
Health inequities are differences in health status between socially advantaged and less socially advantaged groups. These advantages are caused by systemic differences and barriers which lead to different health outcomes.
At WJE I worked to develop a mentor framework to integrate WJE professionals into K-12 environments through direct volunteer opportunities. While they are an engineering and architecture firm, they are also professional problem solvers.
Students will learn about elements on the periodic table, including ones instrumental to semiconductors, and how they are used to make electronic devices work.
Students will participate in a cleanroom simulation in order to learn about microchip contaminants that can impact the semiconductor manufacturing process, and the personal protective equipment (PPE - or “bunny suits”) that prevent contamination.
Students will learn how computer chips get transformed from a brick of processed material into the items we associate with electronic devices, by addressing Photolithography, or the method of stenciling complex designs into silicon wafer.
By engaging in a real engineering design challenge, students will be able to experience a high-stakes competition to solve their challenge through troubleshooting.
Students will learn about the manufacturing methods used to transform raw Silicon into positively- and negatively-charged components, along with the function of diodes and transistors in a computing system.
