Outreach Opportunites
HMS MEDscience Is an innovative high school Biology course immersing students into simulated medical emergencies to build their 21st century skills and expose them to STEM careers. Work with 20+Boston Public and 800+ students.
The TGP is working with the MEDscience Program to increase opportunities for our students to teach in a non-traditional-TF capacity. Join us and volunteer to teach in the program's fun, immersive courses! They offer multiple opportunities for volunteering:
Ways to get involved
- Teach in our cases or skills classes
- Deliver lesson plans to students using the MEDscience pedagogy
- Encourage students to explore learning opportunities and career paths
- Create a Simulation Case Project
Typical semester long courses require ~2h/week commitments.
The Harvard Center for Primary Care's Innovation and Entrepreneurship team has created the Junior HealthTech Fellowship, a program designed to expose 11th-grade high school students to career opportunities in STEM and healthcare innovation. Students practice the biodesign innovation framework over seven months to learn 21st-century skills including collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and solution-generation skills. This year, the program has also piloted a summer boot camp series similar in content.
The TGP is excited to be able to partner with this program to provide career advice and mentorship to students through panels and other engagements throughout the year.
Without access to the internet, books are one of the only places to turn for incarcerated people who wish to learn, imagine, study or grow. However, most prisons and jails are book deserts. The quality of prison libraries, when they exist at all, is generally poor. The mission of Prison Book Program is to support people in prison by sending them free books and reading materials that meet their specific needs and interests.
The TGP has partnered with The Prison Book Program to make a real difference by bringing education through reading to those who do not have access to learning materials by volunteering at their center in Quincy. We will continue to schedule opportunities for our community to help this worthy cause.
