STEM Career Explorations 2022: REU & Girls Inc
This year’s week-long session of introducing a cohort of 8th grade Girls, Inc. Eureka! program students was a resounding success and lots of fun!
REU participants developed games and interactive activities (Guess My Profession, STEM Bingo, others), many interactive demonstrations from different STEM fields related to renewable energy, and even led younger students on a scavenger hunt through WPI campus, searching for landmarks as well as scientists and engineers ‘in their natural habitat’.
Summer 2021
COVID did not stop us from having a great summer filled with science, fun and making new friends! Unfortunately, Girls, Inc outreach program was remote but REU student from Goshen College, IN Emma Burton helped make it happen along with WPI students Morgan Kaler and Melina Welch. Best of luck to our REU’21 class, and please stay in touch!
Teaching clean energy concepts to Girls, Inc Eureka!
In addition to carrying out cutting edge research, REU students had an opportunity to share their passion for STEM and environment with Worcester Girls, Inc students. Everyone had a blast!
