成人快播 Scholars Program

On site for up to 10 hours per week, each 成人快播 Scholar becomes an active member of a project team and works under the supervision of the project鈥檚 leaders to help advance project goals and gain STEM education knowledge. Scholars engage in authentic research activities, such as classroom data collection, literature syntheses, instrument testing, data coding and analysis, and case study development.

成人快播 Scholars come from a variety of backgrounds and majors. Each scholar is assigned a mentor who assists them in navigating a professional workplace and guides them toward professional development opportunities.
