Pathways to STEM
Pathways to STEM (P2STEM) was a virtual after school program geared towards high school students interested in STEM and research in college. Students explored diverse career pathways through research presentations. Northeastern faculty members presented their ongoing research to participants, and participants asked questions about the presenter’s research and their field of study. Presentations occurred via Zoom every Tuesday/Thursday from 4:00-5:00pm for 8 weeks
