One of the best parts of science is inspiring the next generation of investigators. Through the Mini MSTP, our students welcomed ~140 elementary and middle school students from LEAD Academy and Dickson County Middle Schools on May 4 and 12. During their visit, students explored hands-on activities including extracting DNA from strawberries, engineering thumb prosthetics, and visualizing anatomy through ultrasound and organ demonstrations. A special thank you to Adam Abdulrahman (G3) and Hannah Giannini (G2) for organizing Mini MSTP and thank you to all our wonderful volunteers!
