2025 Spring Enrollment: Introduction to Cognitive Science: Uncovering the Machine in the Mind
Chloe Glynn began teaching science at Furness High School in 2019. She was introduced to TIP a few years later, after coming across a poster advertising a seminar about the impact of critical minerals and their supply chains. Since joining TIP, Glynn has deepened her involvement by becoming a member of the Teacher Advisory Council.
Currently, Glynn is enrolled in a seminar titled “Cognitive Science: Uncovering the Machine in the Mind.” Participants are talking through the notion that human brains are not so different from computers, and the implications of this idea in different academic settings. Along with the seminar content, she cites her colleagues as being an important part of her experience.
Glynn has participated in several seminars previously, where she learned about various topics including geopolitical implications of critical minerals, waste incineration, how young people in Philadelphia are impacted by air and lead pollution, and Soviet history.
When asked what she considered the most important part of TIP, Glynn responded, “The intellectual and emotional invigoration. I love to learn, and being excited about my own pursuit of knowledge keeps me excited to come in and share that with the young people I am honored to work with every day.”
