The East Meadow School District partnered with Columbia University to participate in the Cutting-Edge Science Camp at W.T. Clarke High School from Aug. 9-10 for incoming sixth graders.
Students in the program got a head start on subjects surrounding DNA, cells, bacteria and more. Science teachers in the district worked with graduate students from the Sternberg Lab at Columbia University in this hands-on camp. Debra Harley, the district’s director of mathematics and science, and Columbia University Professor Dr. Samuel Sternberg led a discussion on this innovative program before students entered the science labs to work as young scientists.
