ABOUT
In 2010, BUWIC extended its outreach arm to Boston Comm Leadership Academy (BCLA) and Fenway High School, while continuing outreach at The English High School. A few times per month, a group of BU undergraduates volunteered at these three local schools, teaching labs, leading chemistry demonstrations, tutoring and assisting teachers.
CURRICULUM
BUWIC outreach curriculum (10th grade chemistry) was created and distrubted by Rosemary White (’10) and Susan DeSensi (’09), Postdoctoral Fellows in the Chemistry Department. Rosemary and Susan also interacted with teachers, organized the BUWIC outreach schedule and provided all materials for BUWIC labs.

LERNet’s ROLE
