A 15-month project to develop a summer bridge program for high school juniors and seniors using humanities and STEM methods to investigate real-world questions.

We will create a summer bridge program in the humanities for high school juniors and seniors from underserved schools in the Dayton area. Students will explore four themes that relate humanities methods, insights, and texts to real-world contemporary problems and will actively engage with students and faculty from STEM in examining these problems and exploring solutions. Students will interact with humanities alumni engaged in various public institutions in the community, including museums, archives, and other non-profits.
