Allow us to introduce ourselves…
Today your child began an exciting science program in their classroom offered by Science from Scientists. SfS is a Boston-based, non-profit organization that strives to improve science and technology attitudes and aptitudes. We send real scientists into the classroom during school every other week to teach exciting, fun, and curriculum-relevant science lessons. We will be visiting your child’s classroom every other week throughout the school year. We will bring engaging, informative, and stimulating hands-on lessons with us to supplement the school’s science curriculum.
This year, Mr. Khary Richardson and Mr. Justin Dowd will be the regular instructors for Leicester Memorial, Grade 4.
Khary Richardson received his Bachelor’s in physics from C.U.N.Y Brooklyn College and is now at Clark University working on a PhD in physics. Khary has worked on a wide range of topics including erosion and quantum magnetism and is now studying galaxy formation and evolution.
Justin Dowd received a Bachelor’s in physics from Northeastern University in 2014. Mr. Dowd produces educational animated chalk videos. One video won a contest to fly into space aboard an experimental rocket expected to launch in 2016. Justin can’t wait to for students to perform great experiments and experience the fun light bulb moment of understanding a new scientific idea.
