Cross Keys High School
There are some high schools in the Atlanta area that are poorly funded and are unable to provide many STEM opportunities for their students. These schools often have students who are underrepresented in STEM and some who may not even consider college an option after graduation. The GSU iGEM team was invited to come and give a presentation about our project and undergraduate research in general. We were hoping to inspire the students at Cross Keys High School to give them a better understanding of what undergraduate research is like and to help them see themselves as the scientists of tomorrow. We are also working to get a biotechnology class started there to help them get a head start.
