Summary
Jillian Fader, a wildlife ecology major at the University of Delaware, is exploring how board games can enhance chemistry students’ understanding of quantum numbers, a key concept in chemistry. Fader and her professor, Lauren Genova, developed a game to help students grasp complex topics in general chemistry. The research aims to improve student engagement and comprehension while motivating them to continue pursuing STEM courses. Fader enjoys the creativity involved in the project, especially seeing students invent new strategies. Her experience has sparked an interest in helping others understand complex topics through hands-on, game-based learning in her future career.
