High school students from North Brunswick were enlightened by a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) empowerment workshop earlier this month.
DeVry University of North Brunswick and the Zeta Phi Beta sorority hosted the event on Nov. 7 in order for female sophomores, juniors and seniors to tour the Route 1 campus.
The highschoolers met Jeimis Torres, who is currently enrolled in the Computer Information Systems degree program at DeVry. The students also participated in hands-on STEM activities and heard about STEM industries and career options from DeVry’s career services professionals. The workshop involved hands-on activities, which included building a “snap circuit.” Working in teams, the students connected various electronic and physical components to a power source to generate electromechanical reactions such as sound, light and movement.
