We host four weeks of STEM related courses on campus for middle school girls who are potentially first generation college students. I teach one or two of the workshops each June. The capstone of one of the courses is when 30 or so elementary girls come onto campus and do some engaging mathematics presented to them by the middle school girls in the Eureka-STEM! workshops that I teach. | |||
