BCC Math & Science Fair 2020 Winners
BCC’s CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) and the S-STEM Scholarship Program hosted their first virtual Math & Science Fair. Many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) students have been conducting authentic research with faculty mentors since Fall 2019.
Undergraduate research on campus conducted across all areas of STEM was made possible by funding from Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP), CRSP and S-STEM Scholarship Program.
The fair was an opportunity for students to showcase their research to the College community. We proudly announce the winners:
