BUWIC participates in local science fair
Three members of BUWIC, Jessica Biagi, Kathryn Summo, and Elizabeth Villar, were guest judges at Friday’s STEM fair at Pioneer Charter School of Science(PCSS). They helped with scoring the final rounds of contestants in the 6th annual fair, a rigorous and competitive event. Winners of the PCSS STEM fair go on to compete at the regional, state and national science/engineering competitions.
Our participation in this event was coordinated through Mahmut Bekin, a chemistry instructor and head of the science department at PCSS.
Volunteering at Summer Pathways!
Some of our BUWIC members volunteered at Summer Pathways Wednesday July 11, 2012 by conducting demos and helping with tours of the Allen, Doerrer, and Perlstein labs here at BU.
