Meet our Noyce Scholars
We are proud to introduce our NOYCE Scholars who are now middle school teachers in West Orange, New Jersey. Jamani is a teacher of science and Zarah is now an experienced math teacher. This Create to Educate page is a way of sharing the innovative and novel approaches to STEM teaching that these two scholars are now embracing as a result of their NOYCE experience. We applaud their enthusiasm for incorporating current scientific research into their curricula.

Importance of Being a NOYCE Scholar
Zarah Ahmad, Class of 2024
B.A. in Education/Math
The Noyce Grant program allowed me to work closely with a mentor for two semesters. This mentorship was instrumental in honing my teaching skills and providing practical insight into the nuances of being an effective educator. The guidance and support received during this mentorship period, were instrumental in my professional development, laying a solid foundation for my future endeavors in education.

Jamani Thompson, Class of 2025
B.A. in Education/Chemistry
As a result of being a NOYCE Scholar, I was able to attain a science internship. During this internship, I learned more about organic chemistry. I also learned how to help students problem-solve. I learned how to get students to think more in-depth about different scientific processes. I gained a lot of experience with “lesson planning” because of the content development portion of the internship. It was an exciting opportunity!
