糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock students to showcase STEM research at state Capitol
Student research posters at state Capitol
On Valentine鈥檚 Day, six 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock students will be at the state Capitol to show their love 鈥� for research.
Each year, the Capitol hosts a day where undergraduate students showcase their research in the STEM disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math. Posters will set up in the Rotunda from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14, and the student researchers will be on hand to talk about their scientific work in layman鈥檚 terms.
鈥淭he purpose of the event is to showcase undergraduate research at Arkansas universities to state representatives, senators, executive officers, public policy officials, Arkansas high school students, and the public,鈥� said Dr. Jim Winter, director of the University Science Scholars, Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation 聽and Arkansas STRIVE programs.
Last year, more than 110 students from 15 Arkansas colleges and universities displayed posters. 聽All student researchers were nominated by a faculty member to participate.
