In collaboration with a former student who is an artist and a local graphic artist, she put together a comic book series. It's called Poppi and Ray's CHEMysteries and dives into different college level chemistry concepts.
Professor Colleen Kelley said she was inspired by her students because they were often overwhelmed by the subject, especially once they got to college.So she put her imagination to work and began telling stories during her lessons. Her students told her that she should write them down because the stories were entertaining.
In collaboration with a former student who is an artist and a local graphic artist, she put together a comic book series. It's called Poppi and Ray's CHEMysteries and dives into different college level chemistry concepts. In conjunction with Tech Launch Arizona, she brought the book to life and got local elementary school students to read the comic. At first, she gave the series to 8th through 10th grade students, but she found that 4th through 6th graders were more receptive to the books.
In 2020, 5th grader Aidan Kastner was one of the first kids to get the book. He said it was so exciting to learn about something he's interested in and it was easier to learn.4th grader Dori Kendall and her brother Daniel said it wasn't impossible to learn the concepts.His mom, Bee Schlotec, said it not only prepared for chemistry class, but was a way for kids to take a break from screens especially during the pandemic.
