Future Ingenerios Summer Students!
June 20, 2018
We are working with the Juntos Summer Academy with several hispanic high school students for three days each morning. The students are working with myself and two other faculty here at NCSU to get them interested in STEM. My graduate students are leading today's meeting by presenting on their projects and how it relates to what the JUNTOS students are doing with us.
