Ninth graders from East Tech High School in Cleveland recently participated in a grant-funded program at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University titled, Physical Science Robotics Interdisciplinary Design (PRIDe) in Computer Science Education: Broadening Participation in STEM through Cascading Peer-Mentorship.
This immersive experience was designed to inspire students to explore STEM fields and highlight the interdisciplinary opportunities at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State. Students were engaged with a full schedule of enriching academic activities with a focus on robotics. They also toured campus, visited mock residence halls and met with people in several of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's student resource centers including the Center for Undergraduate Excellence, the LGBTQ+ Center and the E. Timothy Moore Center.
The program, funded by the National Science Foundation, is a collaborative initiative involving the College of Aeronautics and Engineering, the College of Education, Health and Human Services, and that college's Office of Diversity Outreach & Development.
