SCIENCE OUTREACH
We've recently done hands-on science workshops with girls at Camp Atwater, the first and oldest Black-owned and operated summer campsite in the United States for boys and girls ages 8–15.

We also taught students about bacteria, what they look like, and how to use them to make paint.
