Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi there! I'm Chloe, a mechanical engineering student. I got into engineering through FIRST Robotics in high school, but since then I've gathered a lot of random marine-related knowledge through various outlets. As a CPS graduate, I realized there isn't a lot of resources for marine science in Chicagoland, so I hope I can help out a little bit in that regard! I maintain the marine science blog https://sleepingfishy.com/ if you'd like to explore random ocean things in more depth. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)S635: An exploration of unusual ocean phenomena and building a mini wave tank in Splash Spring 2023 (May. 27, 2023)
Do you know what really happens in the middle of the ocean? If unusual ocean phenomena, extreme weather events, and capturing energy from waves sounds like your cup of salt water, this is the class for you. We’ll talk about these and you’ll also get to take home your own mini wave tank at the end!
Time-permitting, I’ll also open the floor for questions about class content or other random marine topics (such as ocean-inspired art, marine biology, and how to pursue an ocean-related career).
A sense of curiosity is the only prerequisite!
S636: Marine science careers, intersections with other disciplines, and why we should care about oceans. in Splash Spring 2023 (May. 27, 2023)
So you want to be an ocean engineer/marine biologist/naval architect?
Hold on, what are ocean engineers? What do marine biologists do other than look at fish? Alternatively, how can I contribute to ocean preservation during my career without pursuing a marine science related degree... and most importantly, why should I care?
We'll dive into some ocean-related challenges and solutions as well as how to pursue some of these career paths.

A584: Embroidery Basics in Splash 2022 (Apr. 02, 2022)
Want to make cool art with thread? Impress your friends? Learn basic embroidery stitches and get started with a project of your own using design templates. Time allowing, we can also teach basic sewing skills!
If you have a design you want to turn into an embroidery project, feel free to bring a drawing (no larger than 3.5in diameter please) and we can help you with that as well.
