CSL in the Community

DCPS Science Fair

CSL students love to volunteer in scholastic science fairs at public schools in the DC area to advocate for careers in STEM.

Every year in March, scientists worldwide celebrate Brain Awareness Week. CSL students love to travel to schools in the DC area and teach middle school students about the brain and how we study it. Check out some photos below!
