Hi everyone! My name is Reidyn Wingate (he/him), and I’m super excited to be the APS Education Programs Intern for the Summer of 2024! I am a rising senior studying Physics at MIT, and after graduation I hope to pursue a doctorate degree in Physics or Physics Education. I’m really passionate about Physics Education in particular because I think there is something so valuable and profound in teaching others to learn about and explore the world around them, and I’m super grateful to have the opportunity to work with the APS this summer to do just that.

Outside of academics, I have a lot to keep me busy. I play Wide Receiver on the MIT Football Team, I perform in many different ensembles around campus as a vocalist, percussionist, and composer, and I’m active in a lot of Diversity and Outreach programs. When I’m not running around, you can find me reading, playing video games, and watching movies.

I am extremely fortunate to have this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to taking you all on this journey with me!
