In a sun-drenched conference room on the second floor of Maxwell Dworkin Hall, about 40 fourth- and fifth-graders from the Elihu Greenwood and Louis Agassiz schools in Boston gathered for some hands-on experiments with Harvard graduate students.
The April 30 Harvard event was part of the second annual Step UP Science Across the City Day.
Kathryn Hollar, director of educational programs at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), organized the day’s events in collaboration with the University’s Harvard Achievement Support Initiative (HASI) team.
“Working with these children reminds us that we are all scientists and engineers from an early age,” said Hollar. “Events like Science Across the City give us the opportunity to nurture that curiosity and creativity, and to help these children see the value of science and engineering in our daily lives, and hopefully give them the desire and confidence to pursue [related] careers.”
