2020-2021 TEAM MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
MetroWest Youth Connect Local Environmental Issues to Global Challenges
Students from Framingham, Marlborough, and Milford High Schools in the See Yourself in STEM - Team Mentorship Program, offered through a collaboration between MSEN and the McAuliffe Center, produced short videos to share their ideas for positive environmental change and action. The videos were submitted to the Teens Dream Changemaker Challenge, a global competition sponsored by the Global Co Lab Network, and in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution. Six teams of teens made it to the final round of judging in the competition.
