With so much happening this summer I forgot to share about some of the special programs we ran this summer. This summer CREATE at UC San Diego was delighted to work with San Diego City College’s Yo Soy STEM Program to provide summer research experiences to aspiring scientists and engineers. Are some research experience programs provide a very thoughtful experience for students to begin their journey and research. Special thanks to all of our faculty members that host students and Marisela Chevez for her leadership. The students were great!
