Math, Machines, and Metacognition
The Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab (SISL) conducts research on decisions under uncertainty and optimization problems with applications to autonomous vehicles.
Rocketry & Parabolic Relationships
The goal of this ETP is to engage students in a hands –on engineering experience. Students will create pressurized water model rockets with 2 liter bottles and then launch them into the atmosphere.

The Stable and Swimming Pool: “Where Math Meets Science”
The Mitch Lab at Stanford researches organic chemical reaction pathways involved in treating water, especially disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which result from reactions between disinfectants (usually chlorine) and dissolved organic matter.

Water Management
Water is a valuable resource that all organisms need to survive. We utilize water in our daily lives in a multitude of ways. Students will use linear equations and systems of equations to calculate and analyze how much water they use in their daily lives.

Applications of Laser Probing
Currently, Berkeley Chemistry fellows (postdocs, graduate students, and undergrads) are using extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light generated by table-top lasers to probe potential solar energy converting materials in order to analyze their charge carriers’ excitation and relaxation process.

Bulk Properties from Microscopic Structures
The bulk properties of a material depend heavily on the microscopic structure of that material.
Discovering Particles via Smashing
This interactive lab is an exercise in applying students’ knowledge of Conservation of Momentum and Energy to current dark matter research techniques. It’s a good review activity for Momentum and Energy, and it also bridges nicely into Atomic Physics.
