PhD for a Day!Each semester, graduate students from the Campos & Venkataraman groups lead science demos for 7th grade students from Children’s Zone Promise Academy 2, located in Harlem, NY. We work together with Ms. Cleo Hirsch to expose elementary school students to the life of Columbia graduate and undergraduate students. Each semester, 20-25 students visit our campus and our laboratories. They receive safety training, lab coats, goggles, and gloves to do hands-on experiments that teach concepts in energy, lab protocols, and collecting data, among other concepts.

Science Exclamation PointIn this experiment the improv troupe, Thank You, Robot invites scientists to give short lectures in their fields of study. Following each talk, there is an exploration of the presented topic…in the form of improv comedy.
Luis has worked with the improv team delivering a research talk at a local bar. Additionally, a similar act was taken to Columbia University to Luis' undergraduate Organic Chemistry I class, attended by approximately 200 students. |
