I know an adult who does math or science at their job.

The workshops were fun and presenters were thrilled to teach students about their career

Students got to go on a campus tour – including the dorms!

Each student left with a door prize and a huge bag of scientific activities and goodies

What worked well

Partner with additional community and K-12 programs

Coordinating time frames to accommodate parents

Provide simple program for parents

Next year would be better if:
