STEM Journal Club- This program aims to develop STEM communication and literacy skills for Metro Atlanta high school students from ethnic and racial communities with historically low participation in high-level STEM research competitions . Participants will engage in scholarly research, read and analyze STEM literature (journals), and gain exposure to relevant concepts to spark their interest in STEM Research. The final project for the STEM Journal Club participants is the creation of a podcast episode based on a STEM journal article, which will be featured on our SEM Explained podcast . It is a hybrid program with digital and in-person learning opportunities that take place from October through May.
The guest lecturer for the STEM Journal Club is a STEM Researcher that during a virtual journal club session leads discussion about a journal article in their area of research with the students. The guest lecturer will also speak with the students about how reading and analyzing journals guides their STEM research.
