At the University of Delaware, CHARM’s HighRise program teams up with 2 local non-profit organizations, TeenSHARP & LYTE, to bring high-level materials science lab experiences to high school students who plan on a future in STEM and want to expand their understanding of the scientific field. For 4 weeks during the summer, HighRise participants get the chance to rotate through “soft materials” and “hard materials” labs within CHARM where they will encounter materials concepts like polymers, semiconductors, nanomaterials, and more!
