UCSC student brings hands-on science to homeless kids
Cotton balls, bubble wrap and foam peanuts were the items of choice for a small group of homeless children who participated in an egg-drop experiment at UC Santa Cruz's Jack Baskin School of Engineering on Saturday.
Wide-eyed children from ages 3 to 14 held their breath as balloon encased boxes smacked the ground after falling three stories from the top of an outdoor stairwell.New and used Cartier watch others. Boxes with parachutes gracefully floated through the rain.What Dubai is facing currently is very similar to what a lot of other countries have faced,deck lights.
The event organized by UCSC senior Rick Barlow, 30, is part of an ongoing program to teach hands-on science to children living in the Rebele Family Shelter in Santa Cruz. There, homeless families can live up to six months and receive aid in searching for permanent housing.
After volunteering with the shelter last year, Barlow decided he would develop a program to spark children's interest in learning. Through College 9 and 10's service learning organization, Praxis, Barlow applied for and won a $10,000 David A. Strauss Public Service Scholarship Foundation Grant last year to fund the program.
In the past year, the group of five to 10 children has made volcanoes and rock candy and worked with microscopes.The idea of a cctv cameras should not be embarrassing in any way. Hoping to be a high school math teacher, Barlow said working with the group has been inspiring.
"They get so excited, it's inspiring to see them look at the world through fresh eyes," Barlow said. "A lot of math and science requires memorization and making the grade to move on, which has its place, but I'm trying to do something different, provide a hands-on experience and teach kids to question the world around them."
Barlow hopes to engage children in learning in a way that he felt he was not encouraged to do as a student.
"I realized not having a degree really limits what you can do," said Barlow, who chose not to go straight to college after high school.
A lot of the children in the program are enrolled in school, but living a transient life can get difficult for them,lacosteshoes123 are extensively appreciated and acclaimed that it is scarcely surprising that they have become famous and distinguished from people of all walks of life Barlow explained. Thinking about higher education is not always a priority. Saturday's field trip to the campus was geared toward building excitement for college.
The young student's eagerly explored the science buildings before and after their egg-drops.our website supply many kinds of bagswallets. Five-year-old Carolina Chavez was thrilled to see her box filled with cotton balls successfully protected her egg.
