Two of our interns, biomedical engineering student Catherine Finedore, and computer science student, Rita Roloff, co-developed an experiential program for taking a group of middle school girls from ideation to product development. They also mentored the girls and provided strong role models of successful women in STEM fields.
Besides being fun, one of the participants commented that she had never thought of science as a field of interest for her until she had gone through the 6-week bootcamp.
