Texas Lutheran University

The Texas Lutheran Society of Physics Students (TLU SPS) will team up with a unique after school program called Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE), a program within the Seguin Independent School District, where we will interact with underrepresented populations, primarily from the LatinX community. TLU SPS members will visit students their time mentoring elementary school children. We will present exciting labs to the ACE students during our monthly programs. The goal of the program is to introduce elementary and middle school students to some physics ideas that they may not encounter in their regular curriculum, and to reenforce some concepts through fun activities. A secondary goal is to build relationships between the SPS members and the ACE students through regular meetings and authentic mentoring. Ultimately, we hope to get younger students interested in learning physics through lab related activities and encouragement from our SPS volunteers.
