Future Faces of Physics at Texas Lutheran University: The SYS-S.T.E.M. Program

ORAL

Abstract

The Texas Lutheran University chapter of the Society of Physics Students (TLU SPS) has recently increased outreach efforts by partnering with a local after school program, Seguin Youth Services. The program, ``SYS-S.T.E.M.'' is funded by the Future Faces of Physics award program, administered by the SPS national office. TLU SPS was the recipient of a SPS Future Faces of Physics award to carry out a series of mentoring sessions in which TLU undergraduate physics students work with small groups of elementary school students to conduct hands-on physics labs. We will report on the Future Faces of Physics program on how our efforts are unfolding.
