Arushi Chintakayala, Jeremy Wu & Jeevesh Sarna: “The Co-Directors of IT work with STEMatic Leaders to update our website and decide the platforms that the events and initiatives will be on. We are also responsible for brainstorming event ideas alongside the remaining team!”

We also have some very good news: our Data analysis workshop in late May 2022 was a huge success!

Special congratulations to our winners of the competition Asmi Vijaywargiya, who conducted a study on whether there was an increase in homework stress after online learning began. As a result of online learning, Asmi states, many students have less motivation to complete their tasks and homework. According to the study, by reducing the importance and workload of homework, students face less stress and tend to become more interested in the subject.

In addition, we would like to thank our volunteers and directors for ensuring that the workshop ran smoothly with no interruptions. These volunteers played an integral part in helping the students attending the workshop. Thank you!

As always, we would like to thank our community for supporting our mission. Without them, we would not be able to execute these outstanding events to help underserved students in STEM. Thanks for reading our Monthly Updates, and we will see you guys soon!

Best,

STEMatic Leaders Executive Board
