This is an inclusive and fun class for children who love everything about Star Wars, including The Mandalorian, and The Clone Wars. Kids can show off their Star Wars action figures or their Star Wars costumes. They can show us their lightsabers and Jedi form training. We will talk about our favorite characters and movies/episodes/animated series in Star Wars. The goal of the class is to have children interact with each other about their favorite topics in Star Wars. The classes are ongoing - children can join and unsubscribe at any time. Week of May 4th - The Force Awakens (Episode 7) Week of May 11th - TheLast Jedi (Episode 8) Week of May 18th - The Rise of Skywalker (Episode 9) Week of May 25th - The Mandalorian As this class is highly interactive, I do require the children have their cameras turned on in class. Thank you for understanding.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a neuroscientist and educator. I enjoy teaching children about science - in particular, how science connects the world around us in ways we don't often think about. I try to encourage children to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different situations. I teach classes on neuroscience, animal cognition, public health, and biology. I also enjoy hosting classes on Star Wars, and special topics of interest, mostly as requested by my own students!
I do animal research in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. I have 3 Master degrees - Clinical Psychology, Biopsychology, and Neuroscience. I completed my Masters (MS) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in Neuropharmacology from Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC). I then did two postdoctoral fellowships in Neuropsychopharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I was a university professor before joining a global pharmaceutical company.
My teaching philosophy is simple - I try to encourage children to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life about them. This will help them stay excited about learning and be life-long learners.
