I go to windham center school monday through friday for atleast an hour. I help out around the school.In a third grade classroom I work with a group of 22 kids.I take groups of seven of them at a time. We go over questions that they had on homework or something that they are doing in class. Somethimes we use whiteboards to practice cursive letters and sentences. Also, they use fake money to buy things at an auction that they put together on fridays. I help them to understand the value of money. I teach them how much coins are worth.

LHS Math Club

During my sophomore year, my fascination in the content of my math courses and interest in real life applications (I've wanted to be an engineer since my freshman year) prompted me to found a math club. At first, I felt unsure if my peers would share my enthusiasm for mathematics. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that many students shared my interest. My high school math courses moved so quickly that we were unable to delve into useful applications of the skills we were learning.

Founded in July 2006, the United Aeronautics and Spaceflight Orgization (UASO) is a third generation virtual space agency aimed at simulating, with the highest realism possible, manned and unmanned spaceflight operations. To carry out these operations, we use a very realistic spaceflight simulator called Orbiter, created by Martin Schweiger.

An Introduction to Calculus is a course modeled after Duke TiP (Talent Identification Program) Summer Studies Program. This class selects highly talented 8th and 9th graders in my county, with only a background in Algebra I to Geometry, and presents a Polynomial Based-Calculus Course.

Do Something With Your Life

Irvington High School Do Something Club School is Cool Project: The main goal of this project is to target young people who are losing interest in their academics when they enter High School to give them the motivation and the insights on their futures. We have in mind to target freshmen. Studies have shown that within 3 weeks into the first year of high school has a big impact on the students. Either most students feel unmotivated due to the difference between their past academic lives or some feel motivated to keep going.
