    As the high schools in New Orleans rebuild, one of their many challenges is the uneven level of preparation among students entering the 9th grade. At the New Orleans Charter High School for Science and Math (SciHi), founded by two Tulane professors, the students are motivated but the disparities in their backgrounds are enormous. In this course, we learn how to help high school students who’ve fallen behind, both academically and by understanding the origins of their difficulty. Then we apply that knowledge by working with the students and also fulfilling one of the Tulane Center for Public Service requirements. The service, a minimum of 30 hours over the course of a semester, can take the form of teaching, tutoring, assisting with in-class exercises, and always includes acting as a mentor and role model to the SciHi students.

    Students will learn about communicating science by mentoring a middle-school FIRST Lego League (FLL) team, typically on-site as an after school program. FLL provides motivation in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) by requiring middle-school students to design and build a Lego robot and prepare a 5 minute research presentation on the theme of the challenge. Past themes have included Mission Mars, Oceanography, Nanotechnology, Energy, Climate, and Transportation. The program culminates with a state competition in New Orleans in November or December. Tulane students will be introduced to Lego building, simple programming, research methods, and middle school pedagogy (teaching techniques) required for mentoring a team. Previous robotics experience is not required. This course satisfies the first Service Learning graduation requirement. The service, a minimum of 30 hours over the course of a semester, includes both mentoring of the teams and the training provided in the preparation for mentoring.

    Pre-requisite: EBIO 1010/1110, CELL 1010 or instructor approval. This course is designed to introduce students to the physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes associated with aging. In particular, we will focus on the effects of exercise on the aging human system. We will also discuss what it means to become older within a community, what can a person expect during the aging process, and what kind of control a person has over his/her aging body. (Same as BMEN 3010).

    Students will learn about leadership techniques using the FIRST Lego League (FLL) middle-school robotics program as a platform. Completion of SCEN1020 (previously SCEN101) “Communicating Science – FLL” or previous robotics experience is a prerequisite. Through various activities engaging middle school students, their teachers, and Tulane students in SCEN 1020, participants will have the opportunity to develop skills in leadership, teamwork, and project management. Students will also learn about education pedagogy and have the opportunity to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education in New Orleans. This course, which has a minimum of 20 service hours over the course of a semester, satisfies the second Service Learning graduation requirement.
