Welcome to The Rockefeller University Science Outreach Program. Our goal is to engage students with hands-on, mentored science and to run workshops to provide teachers with the tools they need to instill a passion for science in their students.

Nosotras somos cientificas que trabajamos actualmente en el programa de divulgacion cientifica de la Universidad Rockefeller. Nuestro objectivo es acercar los conceptos y estrategias basicas a las comunidades de K-12, y ayudar a los estudientes y profesores a mejorar su experiencia en la clase de ciencia.
