STOMP at Tufts

Hey Everyone! It's been awhile since I have written. I got involved with Engineering Education here at Tufts University. I am in the Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program (STOMP) at Tufts--where my journey began! Right now I teach a fifth grade class every Friday in Medford, MA. We are using LEGO NXT bricks to build houses. The students are learning Properties and Materials. This Friday we will test temperature, reflectivity, and waterproofing materials to determine the best ones for our model houses. The classroom is 20 students, all are enthusiastic about our lessons. I have uploaded a photo of students who were inspired to go home and build their own model house on their own. Hope you enjoy! Keep engineering.
