Outreach
Science Fair Project Mentoring
Science fair project was my favorite high school experience. I was a former winner in the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF), and semi-finalist in Siemens-Westinghouse Competition and Intel Science Talent Search. I continue to serve as judge in local, state, and international-level science fair competitions. High school students with passion and an idea for a science project are welcome to contact me for mentoring opportunities.
Summer Engineering Workshop
The UNT Department of Mechanical & Energy Engineering is offering a summer workshop for high school students on discovering engineering. Students will be introduced to basic physics concepts and their hands-on application to devices and fun demonstrations. Participants can build an engine of their own and discover design aspects of engineering. Please contact Dr. Xiaohua Li (xiaohua.li@unt.edu) to register.
