George Hademenos, Physics Teacher at Richardson High School, has developed an 8-week Project-Based Learning program for his students titled Using Physics to Drive Action on Sustainable Development Goals. Six of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be featured and you can learn more about the potential project topics here.
Volunteer Engineers will occasionally provide guidance to the student groups from now until December 10 and help them propose solutions or alternate approaches as issues arise. Scheduling is flexible! An estimated 2-3 question sessions per volunteer lasting less than 30 minutes each are anticipated. Mr. Hademenos will be coordinating communication between volunteers and students, which will primarily be over Zoom and email. This is a great opportunity to directly impact students and help inspire them to make STEM a part of their future! Details on the student project requirements can be found here. For more information or to volunteer, please contact George Hademenos at George.Hademenos@risd.org and let him know you heard about the opportunity through Dallas SWE!
