Fostering Science introduces youth in care to the joys of doing science. It is designed and run by a group of scientists who are passionate about science and young people. We recognize that youth in care, whether that's foster care, a group home, the home of a relative, or a shelter, face extra obstacles in becoming involved in science and in participating in summer camps, so we developed a program especially for them. We’ve expanded our program to provide training opportunities to older foster youth (16-21) to make a career in science possible. To learn about this program in detail, visit our Fostering Science website! A paper is currently in prep. sharing program interview and photovoice data. Dr. Eklof is Associate Director of Fostering Science.
