Writing works well in STEM
I brought a superhero into my classroom the other day
. He wasn't wearing a cape. He didn't have an alias. But he had the greatest superpower of all: inspiration.
When you teach using project-based learning (PBL), one brings outside expertise into the classroom. My eighth graders begin the year creating science fiction based origin stories for original superhero characters as an introduction to a greater advocacy unit. Therefore, it seemed natural to bring in an actual scientist. Which brought me to CalTech and Dr. Spyridon Michalakis.
