Gatti Aher, who graduated from the Burlington High School in 2019, was attracted to the election for help in his junior year after developing interest in the computer science. Aher, who continued to receive an engineering degree and is now a doctoral candidate in the Carnegie Melon Machine Training Division, credits his early exposure to Mr. Wong’s class for increasing his career in generative AI for use in projects based on projects and practical training.
Multidisciplinary approaches and dilemmas in the real world
In 2018, Wong and his students tested and implemented a Drona-project laboratory in which AER was involved in one of the Burlington physics classes when the mini-wonns were relatively new. Students from the help of Desk and Wong helped the physics class to download the necessary applications and demonstrated drones.
The multidisciplinary approaches to learning, such as the Physics Drones Lab, not only allow meaningful connections between students, but also provide an opportunity to work in the real world, Wong said.
In 2016, Sean Musselman, a K-5 science and social research specialist for the Burlington School District, is developing a new Department of Earth and ground forms. The new unit included an excursion to the plum Massachusetts, an ecosystem that is experiencing erosionS However, Musselman had to find additional interactive activity at school, as the excursion had a limited capacity.
Inspired by UC Davis Sand BoxIntroduced at the National Conference on Association of Sciences in 2016, Musleman suggested that one of the Wong students to build a portable version of use throughout the area. Edmund Reis, a high school student at the time, was on board.
Leaded by instructions published by UC Davis and with the support of Wong and Musselman, Reis has built a portable AR Sandbox from scratch. This included building the computer, installing the operating system and adapting the source code.
For a flight that now works in Tech, the test and the mistake of building Ar Sandbox as a teenager helped him develop important creative and joint skills that he uses both in higher education and in his professional life.
Climate literacy for young students
Designed to train second -graders for reservoir and interconnected geography, the portable AR Sandbox provides an engaging alternative to the Plum Islands excursion. Sandbox Ar has helped the second -graders of the area understand the impact of water systems in a world, which is increasingly influenced by climate change.
Today, due to the pandemic fall, students no longer go on the excursion, but AR Sandbox’s lessons have remained.
In groups of about seven students, Musselman holds a 15-minute lesson with AR Sandbox. During these lessons, students develop a fundamental awareness of the general climate and their environment.
Sandbox Ar provides “a really wonderful visual, interactive, dynamic model for (students) to explore and ask questions,” Musselman said.
Students are given the opportunity to build their own landscape and place monopoly houses in the sand box. Then it simulates the rain and the students look at how erosion manipulates their landscape. “They will see that their houses are falling apart, which is exactly what is happening on Plum Island,” Musselman said.
“There is no student who is not fully woven about what is happening at this table,” Musselman continued. “That’s 100% engagement.”
Students move away from these lessons with greater climatic literacy and understanding of how the climate can affect their own environment. Musselman makes sure to explain to second -graders that scientists use models like AR Sandbox to understand the impact of time and climate change. And this understanding by AR Sandbox was allowed by exposing a student to the high school the benefits of providing technical support and an agency for their training.
