S.B, Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Alexis Hibbler joined Acera in the fall of 2022 as a physics and math teacher. Alexis attended MIT – where she majored in physics – and she also attended North Carolina School of Science and Math for high school, which is a school for gifted students. Already, Alexis has made an incredible impression on our students, introducing new electives like Astrobiology and challenging kids to consider the energy and physics behind flying pumpkins! Alexis loves the curiosity of students at Acera:
“The great thing about Acera is that whether the kids know how to get to the answer to a problem or not, they want to try – and present their process of logic. They do not feel shy about asking questions, and are unconcerned if they get it right or wrong. Acera kids are interested to investigate why and to connect it to bigger themes. When you are studying physics, that is exactly the point.”
