Speaker
- Paul Hand (Northeastern University )
Details
Dr. Hand has helped develop mathematics projects for a variety of learning environments, including K-12 STEM camps, professional development for K-12 educators, and college classrooms. He will share stories and lessons learned from attempting to build projects that inspire students to pursue STEM. The talk will focus specifically on creating projects that are authentic to students' lives, permit students to express their unique voice, and give students an appropriate amount of choice. These projects have been delivered in the Tapia Camps at Rice University funded in part from Houston Independent School District, and at San Jacinto College as part of an NSF-funded grant.
