EBAYS Student Scientists Make Headlines
This year student scientists in Lawrence Hall of Science's East Bay Academy for Young Scientists (EBAYS) conducted research that was reported in local and national media. In one study, EBAYS students discovered unnaturally high levels of nitrates and E.coli in a creek that meanders through residential sections of East Oakland. These results were later presented to city officials as evidence of sewage leakage into the creek that was reported by the media. EBAYS students also discovered extremely high particulate matter concentration levels at an underground BART station. This information was reported by the Huffington Post and shared with BART officials and the union representing BART employees. EBAYS provides under-resourced youth with authentic scientific research experiences that relate to fundamental science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content. |

Providing Pathways from College to Career
This past year more than 400 volunteers—teens, UC Berkeley students, alumni, and others—contributed 19,000 hours of work to the Lawrence Hall of Science's public science center. For adults, teens, and Berkeley students, volunteering provides opportunities to get involved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. They also gain a deeper understanding of the role of education, as well as an awareness of STEM career opportunities. |
