What is Coriolis?
Coriolis is the private business of Joe Minato. I provide these services and more.
Ida B. Wells High School
I teach physics, Earth science and astronomy at the high school level through my local public high school.
Breaking news June 28, 2022: I have retired from IBWHS. This leaves more time for the other teaching I do!
I was honored by the graduating seniors to deliver the commencement address. Here it is. Feedback welcome!
Astronomy
I lead star parties for the public and small private groups. I advise a Youth Astronomy Club.
Tutoring
I tutor physical science and math at the high school and college levels.
Teacher Training
I offer continuing education and coaching for science teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. PDUs and graduate-level credit available through Lewis and Clark College.
