About
Who am I?
My name is Yea-Lyn, and I'm currently a senior at North Hollywood High School.
Why this curriculum?
I decided to make this curriculum because of my own experiences as a student and because of a student I'm currently working with.
I was extremely fortunate to be able to partake in the Highly Gifted Magnet, which is a program that provides an accelerated and more challenging course for each grade than the courses found in most other schools. As a student with a high level of interest in biology, the accelerated course proved to be much more fascinating and educational for me, and I wanted to spread this opportunity with other students who are not challenged enough by their current coursework but don't have the resources to take the next step.
Furthermore, I currently work with an extremely bright and intelligent student younger than me and help her explore her scientific interests in much more depth than what is provided at her school. She was also an inspiration for me to form a curriculum that would challenge students like her and provide them with the extra step needed for them to thoroughly enjoy the course.
