NSF ITEST Project with Sociedad Latina
In collaboration with Paul Trunfio, a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Physics, Drs. Solberg and Howard launched a new collaboration with a community-based organization in Boston that offers after-school enrichment for Latinx youth. Funded by the National Science Foundation, we work with Sociedad Latina to incorporate My Career and Academic Plan (MyCAP) activities to support middle school youth’s academic and career development. We conduct research on after-school career development activities, design and implement STEM curriculum. The project is managed by Dr. Park with support from masters students Yanling Dai, Turner Block, and Emma Kraus.
Sample MyCAP lessons are available here.
