Final days at Ypsi High

I'm not good with goodbyes, so I'll just spit it out: this is my last post of the year. This academic year has had its ups and downs, but I certainly continue to learn a lot about teaching, about high school students, and about engaging non-technical audiences in interesting topics related to technical things. In my last two days I had the opportunity to do a design activity, which was bridge building out of candy (the same activity that I did with the students at the Expo in December), and I had a while to talk about my research on vehicle design optimization. These both went really well, and it was a great way to close out the year in these classes.

Here's the rest.
