Even with her education, she felt overwhelmed and frustrated when trying to teach science to her own children. To apply to medical school, she had an extensive university education in biology, chemistry, and physics. But she found numerous problems in the available options for her kids.
- Many didn’t teach real science
- Those that promised to teach real science often just tossed big words and concepts at kids without explaining
- All the experiments and demonstrations required more time to set up and clean up than actually do.
- And none of them solved the bigger problem…kids are arriving in high school unprepared.
Now we’re all benefiting from that frustration as she has creating a solution for all of us!
Dr. Robin created her science curriculum when she couldn’t find what she needed for her own kids.
