Women’s Impact Network Award
Erin, Katy and Lyuba were awarded a Women’s Impact Network (WIN) grant for our project Empowering Women through Optics. We will develop project-based activities illustrating application of optical spectroscopy to areas from medicine to food quality and clean energy for new summer programs for Girls, Inc Eureka and for Mount Wachusett Community College Starter Academy, and a series of labs that will be integrated into Frontiers and Opportunities in Physics course that will engage first year students in making meaningful connections to physics and impactful career opportunities.
