Today we had the privilege of touring the biodesign center with Dr. Stuart Lindsay. On this tour, we were able to witness the many open labs which are specially designed to facilitate communication between the different research groups and encourage collaboration rather than just working individually with one's research group. This allows for greater opportunity to advance because there are more people to tap into and those with specialties in one area can help to bridge gaps in understanding for researchers in another field or another area of the field.
After the tour, we broke into our small groups and bounced ideas around for our curriculum project and began developing our project. We had our official "aha" moment today and began to compile our curriculum ideas because we have a hook to bring in our students and tie our math into their world and the world of science at the same time. We are operating on the principle that math is the language of science, so without math, you cannot understand and use science fully. With this statement we are ready to bring science and a relevancy of math back into our high school math classrooms!
