Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to travel with my doctoral colleagues to the Georgia Lowcountry. One of the many highlights of the trip was a visit to the community of PinPoint and their heritage museum where native Gullah-Geechee speakers shared their stories. The museum, located in the old A.S. Varn & Son Oyster and Crab Factory just outside of Savannah, was filled with photos and artifacts of the Iocals who worked at the factory, many of whom are now deceased.

As a Bahamian living in Georgia, I saw so many cultural similarities which underscored our shared connection as a people. The weekend was not complete without a visit to the oldest Black church in America, First African Baptist Church, founded in Savannah by Rev. George Liele. Special thank you to Dr. Gertrude Tinker-Sachs for providing this unique experience for us.

This past weekend I had the privilege of attending the 40th Annual Southeastern Association for Science Teacher Education Conference at Georgia State University. My doctoral colleagues and I presented on the topic “Leveraging AI-Assisted Augmented Reality in the 3D Science classroom.”Artificial Intelligence in education has the potential to provide outstanding benefits for students and educators, and in this talk we explored the use of Luma AI Genie technology in tandem with the Merge Cube Platform to provide tactile, kinesthetic, auditory, and visual interactions that complement and improve student learning. Thank you to SASTE president Dr. Natalie King for an incredible experience.
