I have completed four weeks as an AIP intern. That's 2,419,200 seconds, or 40,320 minutes. This past week was very successful for our group, as we finished going through all of the lesson plans together.
It has been another exciting week for this SPS intern. On Monday, Rebecca and I went to UMD at Shady Grove to share some of our lesson plans with in-service STEM teachers that are in a Masters course on STEM education.
This week has been quite as packed as the last. On Tuesday, I went to a 100K in 10 Solutions Lab where we discussed how to incorporate the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) into a successful curriculum for STEM teachers.
This is the third week of my internship. That’s 504 hours, or 30,240 minutes, or 1,814,400 seconds spent as an SPS intern. A lot of progress has been made on our project. Our group is mostly just plugging along, going through the lesson plans a second time.
This week at NASA I was able to do some real science! I began working with a computer program to analyze data of solar wind. In particular, we are looking for density structures in the wind that are periodic.
