Supporting local education in the sciences

Being a part of PSAA allowed me a great opportunity to de-stress from the world of Penn while being able to make a positive difference in the community

I really enjoyed the ability to teach elementary students through the lab-based approach.  It was amazing to see how excited they were by the real life manifestation of the science they learned in the classroom.

I have made some great friends with some of the high school students that I teach through the Upward Bound program.  Not only have I been able to share my love of science, but I have also made a positive impact in their life and future.
