Outreach

Our lab is involved in various outreach efforts to underrepresented groups in engineering.

We’ve played with waveguides created from Jell-O:

And participated in panels:

And presented at the Reverse Science Fair where we were graded by middle school judges:

I host an annual workshop at Swarthmore College to help students apply to summer research opportunities. Please email me for more information if you are a current Swarthmore undergraduate!

I taught in the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program in summer 2015, an intensive 7-week computer science course for 20 rising high school junior and senior girls. We were hosted by Square. One of the final projects completed by the girls is a game called Boba Buddies:

Craft

Our lab in interested in exploring traditional craft practices such as sewing, weaving, and bookbinding. We explore three different directions:

Crafting is Engineering. The study of traditional craft practices as engineering examples.

Computational Craft. The interplay of craft and modern engineering/computer-aided approaches.

Pedagogical Tool. Teaching craft practices as a gateway to studying engineering, especially for underrepresented groups.
