Module 01: Scientific Curiosity and Motivation
Everything needed to run Module 01 as a taught session: prep, timing, materials, misconceptions, rubric.
Session Kits
One ready-to-run page per module: prep checklist, timing, materials, misconceptions, rubric.
Each kit is the single page to open ten minutes before walking in. Everything in it already existed — capability target, run of show, worksheet, rubric, rendered deck — but was spread across five locations. These assemble it.
Kits are generated from the module pages. To change one, edit
modules/moduleNN.md and re-run scripts/generate_module_teaching_materials.rb.
For the reasoning behind the session design — why half of contact time should be learner judgment rather than explanation, how to differentiate across the learner personas, and what to do when a session goes wrong — see the Facilitator Guide.
Two hand-written companions sit alongside the generated kits, for sessions with audiences the kits do not assume: the Module 22 public-engagement companion for running that material with non-research audiences, and From Projectome to Synapse, a 25–40 minute hands-on activity that works from high school through graduate programs.
