Student-run Juntos Podemos supports minority high school students interested in STEM
This past Friday, 49 high school students eager to learn about STEM boarded buses in Northern Virginia and drove to the School of Engineering for a two-day event called Juntos Podemos, meaning “together we can.” At various locations on Grounds, including Rice, Wilsdorf and Thornton Halls, University student engineers of Hispanic background — ranging from first- to fourth-year undergraduates in addition to a graduate student — came together to introduce Northern Virginian high school students from racial and ethnic minorities to engineering and life and opportunities at college.
