Scientist goes mad for philanthropy and teaching
Description
This year’s Harlem Children Society students – some from families torn apart by incarceration, others first generation immigrants from countries as far flung as Ghana and Guyana, and all promising students who qualify for free lunch – will meet their mentors, who are reknowned scientists at leading research institutions, for the first time at an induction ceremony at NYU’s Kimmel Center. The students will celebrate their accomplishments in two hallmark events: the HCS Science Boat Cruise and the Harlem Science Parade & Street Fair & Festival. The Harlem Children Society is an ITEST project that encourages underserved youth to pursue a career in the sciences.
