Exploring Hall Effect
Students will use TinkerCAD to simulate an Arduino, servo, and Hall Effect sensor, then build a mechanical system with hardware to read a pattern of magnets and store a small set of data.
I’m Sensing a Pattern Here: Structure-Function Relationship of Materials
One of the core ideas of material science is that structure dictates function. The macroscopic properties which arise from a material’s molecular composition aid in determining its potential applications.

Planning the Roads of Treasure Island
We will focus on what it takes to build a city by looking at the importance of transportation. Students will learn about sustainable efforts and methods of mobility and engage in a few activities to better visualize it all.
Robotics and Satellites
Students will learn how CubeSats are programmed to orient themselves in space through a hands-on activity. Students will learn the basics of coding through a team simulation.

Field Testing Protocol
At the Shaqfeh Lab, I worked on creating a robot that could easily move through non newtonian fluid. A non newtonian fluid is any type of fluid (gas or liquid) that does not behave like water, i.e. corn syrup, synovial fluid, molasses.

Horse to Horsepower
Students will sequence historical modes of transportation in chronological order, determine how they function, and identify efficiencies and challenges.
Introduction to Semiconductor Processing
Students will learn the lifecycle of a semiconductor, from a silicon ingot to a microchip that can be installed in a complex electronic device.
