ACES Young Scientists Club
Regular out of school time activities have been shown to be particularly effective in supporting inner-city youth. To bring science experiences to our neighborhood, the Chicago MRSEC runs after-school science clubs in partnership with local schools. Led by our post-docs and graduate students, these voluntary clubs explore key concepts critical to future explorations of materials and materials processing and enables small-group mentoring of students who are highly interested in science.

Python/ Robotics Club
The Python/ Robotics Club is a new afterschool science club established in collaboration with the University of Chicago’s Neighborhood Schools Program. The club has three primary aims: 1) expose students to computer programming early in their careers 2) engage student interest in science through the excitement of creating robots, and 3) develop mentoring connections between near-peers.
