This course is for students who have a passion for communicating about science. We provide training in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) mentoring techniques and in STEM outreach approaches. You have the opportunity to work with small groups of middle school students and inspire them about all things STEM - as you direct their efforts in a STEM research project. You help your students through the entire process of STEM research, from coming up with an idea to communicating their results at a poster session.
