Our wonderful faculty Dr. Ana Porras Anaerobias at UF BME, was hosted by UnidosNow in Sarasota-Manatee for four days of hands-on & problem-solving-focused workshops during Spring Break last week.

Here is what the coordinator at the UnidosNow had to say about the workshop:

"The students enjoyed the hands-on activities. Even though some of them felt very challenged during some of the problem-solving portions, these are the moments students grow and maybe try something new for the first time.""

Our wonderful students at Uf Aiche Photos Page hosted a virtual event for elementary and middle school members of UnidosNow.

Students learned about chemical engineering and the importance of club organizations and extracurricular to academic success.
