Program Director
Meagan Hopkins-Doerr
In America today, there is a great concern about a lack of innovation and scientific experts. This gap is greatly compounded if you look at the number of minorities in the scientific fields. We cannot hope to fill this void without changing the status quo.
One of the fundamental issues is that students need to be exposed to experiential science exploration at a young age, and iPRAXIS enables this to happen. We bring together a Scienteer and a curious student to work on a project chosen by the student. This enables the student to understand the scientific process of continual questioning and evaluating while being supported by a scientific expert.
Not only does the student gain from increasing scientific knowledge and advanced cross-curricular work, they forge a relationship with a mentor. Being able to learn from another is an invaluable skill. Yet we cannot hope for students to have these skills without fostering their development. By working together, students and scienteers can create a relationship that transcends well beyond the project.
As a former teacher, Meagan understands how difficult it can be to develop all the necessary skills, instill a love of learning, and teach an in-depth scientific curriculum. This is where iPRAXIS is an invaluable tool. During both in school and after school programs, iPRAXIS absolutely supported and improved her educational program and increased her students’ scientific understanding and opportunities, and she is thrilled to now be part of this wonderful program.
Please join us to continue providing this support.
