RISE UP NORTHEAST OHIO

Description

We bring real world, cutting-edge science to the classroom in public schools in Northeast Ohio. Our scientists lead the students in an immersive, deep learning, "life as a scientist" experience. Students come up with their own experimental ideas, write grant proposals, receive "notice of awards" or NOAs, carry out experiments in research teams, troubleshoot and revise their approaches, present their results, and publish in a scientific journal - acting as a professional scientist from start to finish. The students will not only learn about science careers, but they will be doing everything a professional scientist does. Students will experience creative freedom and collaboration, and will learn not only experimentation but also how to read, write, and present work as a scientist.
