Tulane Center for K-12 STEM Education Empowers Young Scientists
The Tulane University Center for K-12 STEM Education provides various opportunities for local students to explore science disciplines.
The center offers programming for all ages, including summer courses, robotics competitions, and science fairs, as well as events like Girls in STEM at Tulane and Boys at Tulane in STEM, which recruit Tulane University student volunteers.
Program Director Michelle Sanchez
At the heart of the program is director Michelle Sanchez, a senior professor in the engineering department. When Sanchez first got involved, the center was small, and she handled all aspects of the program.
“When we first started, I was doing everything. I was taking the applications. I was accepting the students … and I was getting phone calls at midnight because something happened,”
Sanchez said. Her initial hands-on approach has contributed to the center's growth, as she understands what it takes to make the programs successful.
