NSF ERC CISTAR hosted a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Program at Northwestern this summer where teachers were paired with faculty mentors and graduate students to gain hands-on research experience, develop new curriculum for their classrooms, and participate in personal/professional development workshops and seminars. Heidi Park from Mather High School (Chicago Public Schools) joined the Seitz lab this summer and worked with several students in the group to learn about electrocatalytic technologies and techniques for analyzing new catalyst materials. We enjoyed having Heidi join us for the summer and look forward to hearing about and participating in her newly developed modules for her chemistry course this year!
Thanks Heidi!
