STEM in Schools
Tulane graduate students develop exciting, hands-on STEM activities that are brought into local middle school classrooms (5th-8th grade) with the help of undergraduate service-learning interns. Activities are modeled after GiST/BATS workshops and are designed to inspire and encourage young students to consider a future in STEM.
We are looking for partner schools, graduate student leaders, and undergraduate interns for the 2018-19 academic year! Contact us at k12stem@tulane.edu if you are interested in getting involved.
