Science Days
In collaboration with Rockefeller outreach, TOrC volunteers plan and host full days of science for classes of high school students. Activities have included a STEM-themed day with different hands-on stations representing each field as well as students isolating and visualizing mitochondrial DNA. During the lunch hour, volunteers interact with students, sharing their “scientific journey,” answering questions, and discussing various career options for students interested in science.
