- Hi. I teach calculus-based physics to high school seniors here
- in Virginia (area code 804). My high school students have
- email accounts on the VA-PEN network (connected to INTERNET).
- I do not know if any of my students would be interested in
- answering questions posed by a group of younger students, but
- still feel free to contact my students with your idea(s).
- My students (high school seniors) also do mentorships after
- school to explore a career interest. they work with engineers,
- in emergency rooms, with architects, etc. They work at NASA, at
- a physics accelerator facility in Newport News, in medical
- research labs, etc.
- My students are quite "bright" (not geniuses) and some might be
- interested in "helping" younger students via email.
- Many of my students wish to major in engineering or physics or
- medicine.
-
- There are also other schools in the state of Virginia at which
- some high school students have INTERNET email accounts.
-
- Here are some names and email addresses:
- The email addresses were set up here at our school.
-
- Lauren Haydu lhaydu@nhgs.vak12ed.edu
- Johnny Tullner jtullner@nhgs.vak12ed.edu
- Alice Chiou achiou@ ETC.
- Robert Wright rwright@ <<< has a modem at home
- Vicky Tai vtai@
- Jason Hess jhess@
- Paul Sun psun@
- Dawn Ell Fitzpatrick dfitzpat@nhgs.vak12ed.edu
-
- One reason I am "sharing" these specific names is that I am
- also trying to encourage my students to see the "utility" of
- email and trying to encourage them to use it in a productive
- manner. I HAVE NOT shared with them that I have "given out"
- their addresses so I do not know if they will respond to any
- request you have of them. Some will respond I am sure; many
- will be happy to have "new pen pals".
-
- Hope this info is helpful. Please reply at my email address
- below since I do not read newsletter groups very often.
- If I can be of some further assistance, please contact me at:

- rpurman@nhgs.vak12ed.edu (INTERNET)
-
- Have a nice day!
