Our virtual programming follows the same vein – STEM exposure & programming that is hands-on as much as possible! For example, this past year, we focused on Computer Science (Learning to Code), Engineering, 3D printing, Lifestyle diseases, Virology, and Epidemiology – relevant topics while the world shut down due to the pandemic.
We’ve welcomed students from across the US and the Caribbean, and far-away countries such as Kenya, from a wide age-range. Shout-out to our youngest participant, an 8-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago!! Our student participants have been enthusiastic and have described their experiences as fun times.
“I did not know that R was a programming language, I had no idea what bioinformatics was about, and I also had never heard about Scratch as a programming language.”
“I have an increased urge of wanting to be a scientist.”
“I wasn't sure what career and educational path I wanted to pursue but [now] I know about a lot of different careers in STEM which I could pursue.”
We are thrilled to partner with a wide-range of speakers and facilitators to continue these successful programs.
