Creating Physics Curriculum Outside of the Traditional Classroom Setting

Physics Unlimited is an non-profit organization~led~by graduates of Princeton University, with many different aspects to the organization. Physics Unlimited's Moonshot Program is a new~initiative~designed to target~underrepresented~audiences and inspire them to become interested in physics. In a 7 week period, we designed and developed curriculum for 12 physics lessons, which will be taught over the course of 12 weeks~in a one hour session each week.~Each lesson is uniquely designed to capture physics in everyday life to make physics a relatable topic to every individual. As a content creator of the physics lessons that~will be~used~in the coming months~(and~in~the future), I~was challenged~to~create appealing lessons to the intended audience.~The~School of Re-Entry at the~Boston Pre-Release Center~(BPRC)~helps inmates prepare for life outside of prison and educates~students in a diverse range of subjects, providing a new path in life. The pre-release center in Boston will be the first place~where~our physics lessons will be used, with the intention~that the~program~will expand to include other similar centers~and different target audiences across the U.S.~
