Roz Goldberg, a retired high school teacher recruited by the program to advise the Princeton students, said the projects were an effective way for college students, particularly non-science majors, to absorb the lessons of a science course. They really had to understand it to explain it to seventh-graders. The program also encourages many students to start to consider careers in education. Program director Margaret Fels said one Princeton senior, who participated in the course last year, will start teaching at a middle school in Washington, D.C., this fall.
