Faculty from the College of Charleston conducted many hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) experiments with the students during the morning sessions. Later in the day, the students filled the TD arena and cheered on the College of Charleston Women’s Basketball team in their game against the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
“Events like this are meant to energize and excite these students about the opportunities that exist for them and to help them to prepare for the challenges they will meet,” says Jim Deavor, Associate Dean of the School of Sciences and Mathematics.
Education Day is a cross campus collaboration between the School of Science and Mathematics, the School of Education, Health and Human Performance and the Athletic Department along with several non-College of Charleston partners.
