 | Our thoughtful, flexible, adaptable, innovative, curious, observant, and simply indispensable graduate assistant became Dr. Wei Sun last week. | |
 | ||
Wei is an electronics and communications engineer, and came to us with a Masters in bilingual technical education. With all of her doctoral coursework completed, this year she wrote and defended her dissertation (in her third language!) in education psychology on statistical modeling of the factors by which young people establish and retain a technical (STEM) identity. | ||
 |
| Teaching schematics of series and parallel circuits. |
Wei manages things around the Lab intuitively, and not only embraces our mission, but demonstrates it daily. And her everyday reflections have helped us refine nearly every aspect of what we do with administrators, teachers, librarians and other educators, business and nonprofit leaders, and of course thousands of visiting school-age students.
