A BONDING experience in every sense 🧪🧑‍🔬💚

Our Rise Up program hosted a hands-on chemistry workshop for our matches in partnership with @stonybrooku Chemistry Club 💥

Our Littles had the opportunity to see just how fun science can be, with a variety of experiments including elephant toothpaste, lava lamps and balloon inflation! 

From asking questions to working side-by-side with their mentors, our Littles built confidence, gained a wealth of knowledge, and strengthened their team working skills- all while sparking a love for learning 🔬🥼

Thank you to site-based Big, Andrew Zhang, for leading this incredible workshop and helping our Littles build an early interest in STEM! 

It’s amazing how just a LITTLE experiment can lead to BIG success 😊✨
