Beronda Montgomery Kicks Off the World of Wonder

Beronda Montgomery Kicks Off the World of Wonder

Beronda Montgomery is a Foundation Professor at Michigan State University in the departments of Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Microbiology/Molecular Genetics. Dr. Montgomery's laboratory explores how certain life forms such as plants and cyanobacteria have constrained versatility, yet can conform to changes in their outer surroundings. Thank you for inspiring a bit of wonder in all of us!

Hot off the Press! AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING STEM!

Hot off the Press! AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING STEM!

Our fellows each shared their amazing teaching moment to collectively publish Amazing Stem. Congratulations fellows on your first #MSUrbanSTEM professional publication. Get your digital copy here.

And...we reflected, while exploring lasers and targets!

We had some pretty excited fellows when it came time to "play" with lasers. The fog machine set the tone as the fellows work together using mirrors and a laser to reflect their way through a maze and directly to the bullseye! It was intense! The video below was created by the magical Candace Marcotte as she captured the moments of reflection.

Computational Thinking with Jon Good

Computational Thinking with Jon Good

A very special thanks to Jon Good for sharing his knowledge in computational thinking. Fellows visited computational thinking stations exploring the use of algorithm decomposition, simulation, data collection and more. Our thinking caps were definitely ON!

Activities Woven Within

Of course the day included a quickfire challenge, sketchnotes, surveys, leadership activities, robots and lunch on campus. It was an amazing day at Erickson Hall. We appreciate the hard work of our #MSUrbanSTEM fellows and the instructional staff. And of course, we had the perfect ending to our day...The MSU Fight Song!
