Jaimee's outtaSite webpage

This is my second attempt at making a webpage that I can be proud of. I hope that it works.

 

I recently graduated from New York University and am now awaiting the fall so that I can teach my first "real" class in Hempstead, Long Island, New York.

I decided to make this new site because my old one was a dull rush job. I hope this one proves to be better.

I am currently an instructor in the Summer Math, Science, & Technology Program 1999 at NYU. The director of the program is Dr. Brian Murfin. He is the best boss any one could ever have and boy is he talented!! (click here to view his class page.) Well anyway, the summer program is formatted to help 9th & 10th graders learn how to use the computer to learn more about math and science. They go on field trips and use college facilities to carry out their assignments. The students even learn how to create their own webpages (Click here to check out their webpages). I am glad that I had an oppurtunity to work with these bright youngsters. It really gave me insight on what to expect from high school students.

Wanna know a little more about me?

Some other interesting projects that I was a part of included:

ICE2000

This was an on-line science fair that Dr. Brian Murfin conducted in the school year 1998-1999. Students from all over the United States and a few other countries participated in the event. Sponsors included The National Science Foundation, Bell Atlantic, AOL Foundation, & the NYU Center for Advanced Technologies.

National Science Foundation Teaching Scholar

I became a NSF teaching scholar as a result of working with students that participated in ICE2000. It was a great experience and they even gave me a partial scholarship to NYU.
