Link to 2010 HSTFP Blog

Wanna see what the teachers posted last year!
Check out there comments here : http://kynanonet.org/2010-fellows/

My experience so far...

This experience has been both exciting and educational for me. I have learned a lot about Knudsen pumps, thermal transpiration and thermoelectric energy; but more importantly, I have learned about what bioengineering research is all about. The people here at the University of Louisville have been hospitable, from student researchers to graduate students to professors. They are clearly passionate about the fields that they are researching and that passion is contagious. This program will allow me to better explain to my students and colleagues what the University of Louisville offers which will open doors for many students who may have never even heard of bioengineering. I am excited to see what the last week of this program will bring and I look forward to staying in touch with the contacts that I have made.

Welcome HSTFP

Welcome 
to the blogging site for the 
KY NSF EPSCoR: Engineering Platforms Initiative 
High School Teachers Fellowship Program (HSTFP)

This is a place to describe things you are learning, experiences your want to share and ideas you want to enhance.

You may generate discussions on any ideas you feel will help in the development of increasing the KY students in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

I look forward to seeing your comments. Please feel free to comment on each other's blogs as well.

***Please note that this blog is open to everyone to view. Please do not post any confidential information on the research being conducted - please check with your mentors if you are uncertain. ***
