Animated Lessons

During the pandemic I taught basic science, biology, computer science, and biotechnology to high school students at a public school in Tempe, Arizona.

These animated lessons were created to boost student engagement and understanding of material during online learning



Tomato Breeder Lab

"Tomato Breeder" was created to help students visualize the splitting of chromosomes into gametes, and how those gametes recombine during sexual fertilization. The tutorial enables auditory playback of words that were difficult for students to pronounce, while describing the biological processes that are animated in the game portion of the simulation


Counting with Switches

"Counting with Switches" was created to help students visualize what are binary numbers, and how they can be used to encode the same information we are used to calculating with decimal numbers. An animated tutorial prepares students to play a game that asks them to count in binary.
