This summer we will be traveling to Tanzania for five weeks. Our projects include STEM education, safety procedures, clean water, and technology implementation. These are all projects that past teams have recommended and we are excited to get started this year!
The project ideas that we will be selecting our projects from include a STEM Education project, a Women's Health Project that has been in place for 3 years, a lesson that teaches children the importance of hand washing, teaching children about technology and computers with Raspberry Pi machines, and a project that involves "reviving" broken medical equipment at a local hospital.
Melvin Calvin was a well-known MTU alumnus and a Nobel laureate in Chemistry for his discovery of Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis. This proposal is to follow his scientific spirit by establishing Calvin Research Program to support our students with a focus on photo-synthetic biology related researches.
