Today, former R.E.T.s, including me, gave presentations of their experiences in past R.E.T. programs. I gave two presentations; one on wrinkling discussing my research from last summer, and the second on the program Professor Crosby, Dr. Dabkowski, and I developed for the seven Minnechaug students that we piloted last year. The main focus of my experience here this summer will be to develop a protocol for this program so that toher schools might participate. The seminars took most of the day. It was great to reconnect with people from last summer and also to see Cathy Levesque, a former HWRSD teacher. She was given an award by MRSEC for her work furthering science education. She is currently the K-12 science coordinator for Westfield Public Schools.
