The Johnson Lab is involved with two JHU Outreach programs dedicated to enhancing STEM education and exposure to Baltimore City Elementary School Students and Teens.
We participate in the Afterschool SABES program. We currently (2024) are the mentor team for 3rd graders at Margaret Brent Elementary School.
Computers in Biology and Chemistry
Our website for the MIT Scratch-based computer programming module we developed for the SABES after school program. This site provides an educational resource for teaching 3-6th grade students about computers in science through simulations and animations, and the curriculum we developed for a 10-lesson introduction to computer programming through Scratch.
Check out our latest animations for our 2023-2024 school year
