Cross Keys High School
Some high schools in Atlanta are poorly funded and are unable to provide many STEM opportunities for their students. The GSU iGEM team was asked to come and give a presentation about our project to help inspire some of the students and give them a better picture of what undergrad research is like. Our team gave a presentation, which was then translated into Spanish by a bilingual member of the team, and then answered any questions the high school students had. Going to Cross Keys High School helped motivate the students to participate in research opportunities in college and it gave our team a better perspective on our project.
