As part of a multi-year project with the Academy, I conducted interviews and focus groups with children and parents from throughout San Francisco to help identify how to best engage students and their families in environmental education programs and conservation activities.

I worked with the museum to prototype new ways for visitors to engage with art. Through visitor observations, focus groups, and an unfacilitated sticky-note feedback system, I was able to draw out broad findings about the types of experiences that speak to visitors.

I am measuring the impact of a multi-year professional development program designed to help educators bring engineering design into the classrooms. We are measuring changes in educator confidence, the amount and quality of engineering instruction, and student attitudes toward engineering.
