NCRG Outreach

1.  Research Experience for Gaither High School Students (2010)

This effort is to engage, motivate and excite high school students towards STEM area. The students come twice a week and are collaborating with the undergraduate and graduate students of NCRG to build a magnetic logic prototype. Note that, the students would need to understand the basics of logic, architecture and design.

2.  K7-K8 student (Charles S. Rushe Middle School:Collaboration with Ms. Westlake)(2008, 2009)

We (with Javier Pulecio and Chamila Siyambalapitiyagedona) visited Ms. Westlake’s classroom in Charles S. Rushe middle school  and presented an overview (powerpoint slides) of nanotechnology as well as our work on Nano-computing. In 2009, we collected a few survey data (accepted to be published in FIE 2010) on students’ interest and career.

4) K7-K8 Students (Pine-view Middle school) Interaction (Collaboration with Ms. Westlake) (2007)

We introduce a knowledge unit motivating K7-K8 students towards Nano-computing. This work was sponsored by RET program managed by College of Engineering.  I was mentoring Ms. Westlake in my lab to create the lesson plans on Boolean logic, computing aspect of Nanotechnology, Quantum cellular Automata. In 2007, we offered the knowledge units in Pine-view middle school classroom. I and Michaela have collected sample students’ work, discussion log and overviewed team projects.

3.  For Women Undergraduate and Graduate Students (2007)

1.    Distinguished Lecture Series (sponsored by CRA-W)  The Multicore Revolution: Challenges and Opportunities  by Professor Mary Jane Irwin

2.    Panel Discussion on “Grad School” (See Report)
