In the midst of decisions happening at the university/state/federal levels in regards to the 2019-2020 Coronavirus pandemic, we are unclear as of this moment as to what Outreach will be offered in the future. As of today (3/16/2020), all outreach (until late April) is canceled/on hold until further notice. We will post updates regarding STEM […]
Last Saturday (2/29), the Center for STEM Education, in partnership with Boston Public School’s Science Department hosted the 74th Annual Citywide Science and Engineering Fair! Over 200 students with 127 total projects from 20 schools (Middle School: BLA, BLS, Eliot, Jackson Mann, JDOB, Kilmer, Mary Lyon, McCormack, New Mission, Timilty, Umana, Warren Prescott | High […]
Last week, from Tuesday (2/18) to Friday (2/21) our 2020 iteration of the Engineering Explorations program took place. On Tuesday, we introduced the Engineering Design Process and learned about Mechanical Engineering in more detail. The day started with some team-building exercises, then we discussed what we consider our most important technological inventions, and putting them […]
On Friday, February 14th we had another STEM field trip, this time a visit from 5th grade students (x45) from the JFK Elementary School, returning for their second year. Today we learned all about Natural Disasters and how Engineers (and ourselves) can prepare for them. In the morning, the students learned about Natural Disasters/Hazards and […]
Today, on February 7th, we had 24 students joining us from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Mission Grammar School (5th and 6th graders). Our introduction to engineering presentation, led by STEM work study students Anya and Hadeel, informed the students about what engineering is about (solving problems!), the engineering design process (Ask|Imagine|Plan|Create|Improve), and what the […]
Today we had our third field trip of the semester, and this time the fourth grade (36 students) from the Phineas Bates Elementary School came. This is their 3rd year in a row (last year and year before) coming to campus, and it was great to have them back! The students learned about engineering (problem […]
