As part of the Project HOPE career education program, the Hawk-Eyes on Science team of Dale Stille, Vincent Rodgers, Emma Burzynski, and Caroline Roberts conducted a soldering demonstration on May 16 for West Liberty High School students in Van Allen Hall.
Project HOPE (Healthcare Occupations Preparation and Exploration) is a STEM-based curricular intervention that integrates academic and vocational opportunities designed to connect minority and low socioeconomic school students to the health science professions early in their education. The program is of particular importance to rural Iowa youth.
