NMSU GK12 DISSECT Program

I am currently supported by a fellowship from the NSF GK12 Program. My particular fellowship is funded through the New Mexico State University Computer Science Department to promote "computational thinking" in grade school classrooms. I am working with Mrs. Rachel Knight. In 2011-2012, I worked with Rachel's 7th and 8th grade Agriscience class. This year, we continue our teaching partnership, but at a new school and new grade level, and with new classes: I will be working with her Biology, Environmental Science, and Introduction to Agriculture classes.

I will be updating this page with summaries of the activities that I develop for the class.

Start of 2012-13 year

I visited all seven of Rachel's classes today to present an overview of my background, research experience, current research focus, the GK-12 project, and computational thinking. It was a lot of material to pack into one 38 minute presentation!
