In November, middle school students from Mother Mary Lange Catholic School (MMLCS) were treated to a behind the scenes look at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP) simulation space.
The students who participated in the field trip are all members of the MMLCS Girls in STEM club, which is designed for young women with an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The girls meet with Cynthia Tilghman-Lee, DVM, the after-school STEM program coordinator at MMLCS, once a week to learn about careers in the STEM field from guest speakers. They also work on special projects that provide STEM learning opportunities, such as building a working roller coaster out of Legos.
