CLASSES

Advanced Physical Chemistry

Events

Bettendorf Jr. High School STEM Expo:

  • Setup 3D printers (Ceramic, FDM, and SLA) to demonstrate the creation of 3D elements
  • This also included a Coffee station, 2D to 3D paper folding station, and a drone station

Setting Up the Raspberry Pi

Growing Crystals

  • Towards the end of the class, we started to grow crystals. My crystal, the potassium ferricyanide crystal, along with the instructions used to make it, can be found at this link:
