Marilyn Mackiewicz believes in the power of what she calls “ooh ah” moments.
They can be created using the latest instrumentation to change the color of particles in her chemistry lab. And they can be life-changing.
An associate professor in the College of Science, Mackiewicz was sparked by those oohs and ahs to launch Ignite inSTEM in 2022. The summer camp gives local students from low-socioeconomic and rural backgrounds a chance to do hands-on science and preview what college can be like.
