Projects
ReMSTEP Teaching Sequences, 2018,
ReMSTEP is an ongoing, multi-university based project that aims to facilitate learning in high schools and the community by interpreting leading, contemporary science formats. Development of online learning modules for students and teacher use in a classroom setting. The hypothesis of the study states that increased consumption of foods containing Flavonoids will correlate with increased cognitive ability. The production of my own website continues to develop my educational communication and project management abilities, in addition to teamwork experience with other contributing individuals to the website.
STARS, 2014,
STARS is a large-scale Deakin based experiment that partners with the ALURE project. Deakin university students assume the role of both researcher and participant in a quantitative research study. The hypothesis of the study states that increased consumption of foods containing Flavonoids will correlate with increased cognitive ability. This project developed my skills in data collection, critical thinking and statistical analysis.
