Gear Up

In 2004 and 2005, I taught "Musical Representations of Science and Mathematics," a three-day summer mini-course for high school students participating in the University of Washington's GEAR UP program. GEAR UP encourages students from disadvantaged backgrounds to prepare for and attend college.

In essence, my course allows students to create short songs with lyrics about a scientific or mathematical topic of their choosing. For additional information, please see the 2005 course syllabus (a Microsoft Word document).
