This work is made possible by support from STAR, a Biogen Foundation Initiative, a project committed to “the development of a local STEM ecosystem in Cambridge and Somerville that provides increased access to STEM resources and opportunities for students most underrepresented in STEM college or career pathways.”
The team at Lesley supporting this initiative includes faculty and staff in the Lesley STEAM Learning Lab, Science in Education, the Center for Mathematics Achievement, and other related university departments and programs.
