The projects the team will be pursuing heavily this summer will focus on STEM Education, Women's Health, and collaborating with a community center on their needs. Outside of these projects, the team also hopes to scout out new opportunities for future cohorts and establish connections with student organizations at the University of Energy and Natural Resources in Sunyani.
Nic Walli and Lexi Steve will be going to Lima, Peru to volunteer and scout out projects for the future. Potential projects would be teaching design, learning from others, incorporating teamwork activities, being empowered, and empowering others to make a change.
This project will investigate how northern hardwood trees adapt to their local environment by using two related species of red oak. We have collected acorns from across the trees' geographic range, and will plant them in two locations to measure how they perform. Understanding what makes trees thrive will allow us to select the best trees for future climates.
