  2. About GK-12 • GK-12 is a program funded by the National Science Foundation • Our goal is to have fellows in STEM classrooms, where they will help teachers integrate concepts of computer science into traditional lecture.

  3. What is Computational Thinking? • Problem solving • Something you do already • I think of computational thinking as computer science without the computers!

  4. What is Grad School? • More school after you graduate college • Designed for people who want more debt

  5. Why I Chose Grad School • it's challenging • The average salary for graduate degrees • because science is pure awesomeness, in a soda can, after you add Mentos

  6. Experiences In High School I went to the Science Olympiad Competition, where I built a balsa wood plane and used a rubber band to make it fly around a gymnasium.  And then we tried to knock it down with a catapult!
