https://padlet.com/hgriebel/helpwantedpassionproject The GT students have been working on "Passion Projects" that are semester long projects in which they are creating meaningful projects that connect something they care about (their passions and hobbies) with a community or worldwide issue that bothers them and they would like to see a change. Outside experts (like you!) play such an important role to provide these students with means to gain more knowledge on the subject they care about and gather more information in order to help make their project a success. If you fill out the Google Form about the project you may be able to help with, then I will contact you via email to schedule an interview or discuss further.
