In this 6-week course, we will learn about famous women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We will learn about their lives and the contributions that they made to their fields. We will also discuss the scientific or mathematic concepts behind the contributions that they made. I teach in an interactive way! I love involving students in discussion. We will play a Kahoot review game at the end of each class.
Week 1 - Shirley Ann Jackson - American physicist and first African American woman to have earned a doctorate at MIT.
Week 2 - Diana Trujillo - Columbian aerospace engineer at the NASA Jet propulsion laboratory, worked on the MARS rover Perseverance
Week 3 - Hayat Sindi - Saudi Arabian medical scientist helped develop low cost medical devices for developing countries
Margaret Hamilton - American computer scientist, helped develop on-board flight software for NASA's Apollo program
Week 4 - Katherine Johnson - American mathematician, her calculations as a NASA employee were critical to to the first U.S. crewed
spaceflight
Week 5 - Chien Shiung Wu - Chinese American experimental physicist who made significant contributions in the field of nuclear physics
Vera Rubin - American astronomer, pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates leading to the discovery of dark matter
Week 6 - Mae Jemison - American engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut, first black woman to travel into space
I will use google slides presentations, short videos, class discussion, weekly handouts and Kahoot review games to teach this material.Learning Goals
Students will have basic knowledge of each woman in STEM that we learn about.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Human Development Family Studies from University of Akron
Hello! My name is Adrianne Hays. I am currently a homeschooling mom of two kids. We have been homeschooling for 10 years. Before teaching on outschool, I spent 5 years teaching math and science to preschool and elementary school students through our homeschool coop. As we moved online, I found that I enjoy teaching virtually. I love to involve students in discussions online and find ways to make digital classes interactive and hands-on. I started teaching on Outschool in 2020 and I absolutely LOVE it! The long term relationships I have built with families and students have been amazing. I have enjoyed coming alongside parents and helping them foster a love of learning in their children!

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Child Development from the University of Akron and minors in psychology and family development. I am a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) and worked in a hospital setting with children before staying home with my own children. As a child life specialist, I helped children and families cope with the stress of hospitalization and illness through developmentally appropriate interventions including therapeutic play, preparation for procedures and education. I loved teaching children about anatomy and physiology in the hospital setting in a way that they could understand. I have always loved math and have enjoyed making math fun and encouraging students to see that they can be successful at learning tough math concepts! I also have a passion for child development theory and psychology.
I believe learning should be fun! I have loved watching my own children and those I teach grasp concepts for the first time. I think children learn naturally and I hope to inspire them to want to explore concepts and follow their interests to learn more in the future. I think that developing relationships is an important part of teaching and something as simple as calling a student by name and getting to know their interests can make a huge difference!
I currently live in the Bay Area after living in the Chicago area for 7 years. I love going to museums! I am a museum membership collector! :-) I love running, trying new foods, and exploring new places! As a homeschool mom, I am enjoying relearning history, Chemistry, Algebra and more! I love reading mystery fiction with a good twist at the end.Reviews
