We are grateful for our partnership with RTW Foundation and their BioQuest program. Thank you to all of the leaders and professionals making this work possible. #STEM #mentoring #partnerships

Last week, BioQuest students from Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC), Futures Ignite, and Areté Education Inc. gathered at Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS and the New York Genome Center for an exciting end of year winter celebration and lab visit. Students engaged in hands on activities including extracting DNA from strawberries, competing in a precision pipetting challenge, making fake snow, and building innovative gingerbread houses. This immersive experience showcased their teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Thank you to all mentors, partners, and students who made this a fun, memorable day! #BioQuest #STEM #Mentoring

Today we celebrated our #CollegeCareer March at WHEELS. As we cheer on our seniors at WHEELS and IN-Tech, and the year draws to a close, we want to invite our community to join us in investing in the Class of 2025. The class of 2025 was in 7th grade when COVID-19 hit. Now, they're looking ahead and planning their futures after high school. Please join us to reach our end-of-year fundraising goal of $50,000 to ensure every senior has access to the resources they need. No gift is too small. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eyXf3fYp #educationequity #NYCschools #collegeaccess #careerdevelopment #youtdevelopment #WashingtonHeights #Bronx
