Scientific paper
This summer I interned with the Society of Physics Students (SPS), developing 1) on-line resources for undergraduate physics majors and 2) an outreach tool for local SPS chapters.
ComPADRE, digital resources for physics and astronomy education, is sponsored by NSF. The Nucleus is a part of the ComPADRE collection specifically for undergraduate students. It provides scholarship and summer research clearinghouses, as well as a discussion forum, monthly contests, and more. This summer was spent developing the new student lounge, which is now a part of the Nucleus, expanding the clearinghouses, and developing new contests and polls.
The SOCK, or SPS Outreach Catalyst Kit, is a catalyst that is available for SPS chapters who are interested in doing outreach but who may not know where to begin. The 2006 SOCK was developed this summer by the SPS Interns based on temperature, in conjunction with the Absolute Zero Campaign. The materials included in the kit were chosen based on their potential to engage students in the classroom.
