(Oh dear, starting this at 6 AM back at MIT. It’s been a while, but hopefully my memory serves me well!)  Day 9 meant… FINAL PROJECTS!! To make operations as smooth as possible, we had spent much of the day before reorganizing the classroom.  Two 3D printers accompanied by soldering irons sat towards the frontContinue reading “Day 9: January 16”

Hi it’s Lulu here with another post (finally)! It took all this time, but on this last day of modules, I finally entered my element with…the brain!! Sheila also entered one of her many elements in the afternoon by teaching about linguistics and language development! Overall, a big brain day—I’ll write about the morning andContinue reading “Day 8: January 15th, 2020”

Finally the last post I have been delaying for way too long! (Thanks Sheila for reminding me:) SO Day 7: Crime Day. You must be wondering what this day could have to do STEM. Well our amazing teammate Lulu thought of the idea to go along with the frog dissection. She came up with theContinue reading “Day 7: Jan 14th, 2020”

Wow, only now just writing about Monday, day 6 of the workshop. It has been one crazy week and a half…! During the first week of the workshop, my modules had been pretty well fleshed out beforehand. But as week 2 approached, time to focus on my two day 6 modules (microscopy and EECS) wasContinue reading “1/13, Day 6: Microscopes and Arduinos”

(Sorry for the late update but I have finally gotten my act together to talk about this day) This was the last long stretch of a hectic but joyful first week! In the morning we learned about Materials….who would have ever thought I would be teaching about that? Pro (and seemingly obvious) tip: pick topicsContinue reading “January 10, 2020 – First Week Finish!”

I wasn’t sure which day to put this in since it happened throughout the workshop. Something we tried this year was to incorporate an additional element of choice and “hard fun.” This is where Cubes in Space comes in! Over this past summer, I got the opportunity to witness a sounding rocket launch from WallopsContinue reading “Cubes in Space!”

so i was super busy and could not write part 2 of Day 2 until now but ye enjoy 🙂 SO Lulu and I were highkey stressed about teaching our module Chemistry because we had so much to prepare in the classroom the day of. So we decided to skip lunch and buy gimbap onContinue reading “Jan 7th, 2020 part 2”

Hello everyone! Sorry about the lack of updates for the last few days. The second week hit us like a giant wave and we are slowly catching up… Saturday (1/11) Going to the DMZ had been on our minds since the very beginning, given our situation of teaching North Korean refugees in South Korea. TheContinue reading “A trip to the DMZ”

My module on Day 4 was like my baby… I was super excited to teach about biology, DNA, and bacteria! After hoisting 100 petri dishes and some colorful bacteria to the school, we began the lesson for the day with a discussion about what it means to be alive. The kids had some good ideasContinue reading “Day 4: Bacteria, DNA, and Scratch, oh my”

The past few days have been a whirlwind.  As the member of the group with the most negligible Korean or Chinese skills (my Korean is essentially limited to hello, goodbye, excuse me, and “I’m sorry, I don’t speak Korean”) I’ve quickly occupied the role of the clueless English speaker. The words 한국말 못해요 (the mostContinue reading “Day 3: Drones, 3D Printing… 3D Printing Drones?”
