Description
Project SEED is a summer internship program designed to provide high school students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds with hands-on research experience in chemistry. Over 8 to 10 weeks, students work in research laboratories under the mentorship of professional scientists, gaining exposure to real-world research, college preparation, and career development in the chemical sciences. The program aims to foster interest in science and open pathways to STEM careers for students who might not otherwise have access to such opportunities.
