A Hackathon with a Hidden Agenda
We were a week ahead, so I gave my Tech for Social Good class one period to build a robot that plays the Chrome Dino game. The game was the excuse. The skills were the point.
Building the T4SG Class Hub
How I used vibe coding to build one home for my Tech for Social Good class: a connected, cumulative assistive technology project where every artifact is made by a student, for a real person's goal.
Grounding AI in Their Own Handwriting
A metacognitive end-of-year chemistry portfolio built with NotebookLM and Gemini, where the AI can only synthesize what the student actually learned.
Making the Lesson, Not Planning It
A month ago I wrote about how the app is the lesson. This week I crossed a quieter threshold. I am no longer building apps as enrichment, or as a special-occasion tool. I am building them instead of..
The App IS the Lesson
I stayed up late last week trying to record a lecture video on action potentials for my Neuroscience class. I kept redrawing the neuron, restarting the recording, trying to get the sequencing right...
Build the Tool, Don't Find the Tool
A classroom question about blinking became a purpose-built data tool and a case for building the app a lesson needs.
AI and Media Literacy Lessons
When most people hear I’m teaching a new class called AI and Media Literacy , they assume it’s a sharp turn from chemistry. In some ways, they’re right. My TED Talk, 3 Rules to Spark Learning...
Empowering the Visually Impaired: Innovations with Arduino Uno in Assistive Technology
My high school students are creating assistive devices for visually impaired individuals using the Arduino Uno platform. This project focuses on developing innovative digital mobility aids, utilizing.
10 AI Classroom Applications
Below are 10 ways I have been leveraging AI in my classroom. Although STEM heavy, I am hopeful these applications will spark interest across disciplines. Unite ChatGPT and p5.js to make video game...
Protein Folding in Science Education: A Perfect Crosscutting Concept
The more I teach students in my Biochemistry class about the intricacies of Protein Folding, the more certain I become that it is a perfect learning medium for uniting various disciplines. From...
Fast AI Game Design Using ChatGPT and p5.js
Experimenting with leveraging ChatGPT as a medium for generating code to run simple JavaScript games in p5.js . My ultimate goal is to create a system where students can use both applications to...
Modeling Science Using ChatGPT and p5.js
Recently I have been exploring ways of using ChatGPT and p5.js together to create animations formy physics and chemistry classes. Below is my first attempt at generating a code for a bouncing ball...
