Electric Field Mapping
Students will perform an electric field mapping investigation using conductive paper/water trays and voltage probes.
Tuning The Invisible: Measuring The Unseen Frequency
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.
Build Your Own Water Turbine
Students will build turbines from pre-determined supplies to demonstrate how water can be used to transfer energy and be used for power.
Teaching Polymers and Applications through 3D-Printing Microporous Structures
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.
