HSI STEM - Bridges Across Eastern Queens

Are you looking for an innovative MQR (Math & Quantitative Reasoning) Pathways GenEd course?

Consider Physics 8, The Science and Applications of Fractals! It's a great course for ALL students interested in exploring new topics in math and science. The course is being taught with active learning modules to make it fun and interactive. The course will engage students through 'design thinking' to make stuff in the QC Makerspace.

You don't need any background in math or physics, just a curious mind and willingness to participate and explore the world of Fractals. Don't know what those are? Fractals are objects with ever larger or smaller number of pieces, like mountains, rivers, trees, lungs, art, stock market fluctuations and so much more.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes! Are you excited? We're excited! We're also so proud of you for keeping up with your education through a really tough year. Keep that going!

Don't forget to pack your lunch, sharpen your pencils, grab a notebook, and get cozy in front of your computer for the first week of virtual classes. 😉 Your instructors will let you know what's next for any hybrid courses you're taking, so pay attention and take notes.

If you need any guidance, time management advice, or STEM course help, check out our website in the bio to see when there are peer mentors available.

Good luck on your first day tomorrow!

Vaccinations have been a requirement for attending college for a long while. Universities want to their students to be healthy and able to focus on learning, not on illness, if possible. Adding the COVID 19 vaccination to the list of required vaccinations to enroll only adds to the safety, health and security of everyone on campus. Very glad the courts see that too.

Stay safe and healthy as you prepare for the fall semester!
