The MUSC High School Teen Science Ambassador Program aims to engage high school sophomores and juniors in research in an academic medical university setting to develop critical thinking and communication skills and encourage a sense of belonging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Our focus is to reach individuals from underrepresented and underserved groups in STEM. Over the next five years, we will develop a community of trained Ambassadors to help increase scientific literacy and outreach in STEM.
