This summer, we will be running our annual YSP (Young Scholars Program). YSP offers future scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for a hands-on research experience while still in high school. This 6 week summer research program will run from June 24 to August 1 and will involve research in various fields of STEM such […]
Today was our Last field trip of National Engineers Week (but not the last of the year: we still have ~10 field trips left this year. Today, 70 fifth grade students from the Murphy K-8 school came for an engineering design process workshop / field trip, wherein they learned about engineering, thinking like a mechanical […]
From Tuesday, October 6th to Tuesday, November 24th, the Center for STEM Education launched its first Pathways to Science and Engineering session. This program is geared towards high school students interested in pursuing careers in STEM. Graduate students, faculty members, and alumnae across various disciplines present their current research or topics related to STEM in […]
Thursday, July 30th marked the end of the 2020 Young Scholars Program. Eighteen students presented their five weeks of virtual research to an audience of family, friends, and faculty through a Zoom call. Nine student pairs worked respectively in designed research areas such as chemical engineering, pharmacy, bioengineering, computer science, and civil and environmental engineering. […]
Week three of the Young Scholars Program marks the halfway point for our high school researchers. On Monday, July, 13th, the YSP students participated in a Co-op/STEM Panel with four Northeastern students: Colin Bergmann, Nathalie Leger, Nithila Raman, and Fatemah Mukadum. Colin Bergmann is a recent Northeastern graduate, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Engineering. […]
This summer is a bit different at Northeastern University for the students selected to participate in the Young Scholar’s program. Selected students are participating in a fully virtual experience, working in teams with their mentors defining research goals, learning new software, beginning to learn experimental procedures and techniques, and so on. 18 students were accepted […]
On Friday, October 11, the Northeastern Center for STEM hosted ~68 fifth grade students from Murphy K-8 School in Dorchester, MA. The theme of this weeks field trip was focused on the effects of water pollution and sustainability.
