Abstract

is a junior Civil and Environmental Engineering student at Lafayette College with a strong interest in K-12 Engineering Education. She is currently working with Lafayette College and North Carolina State University faculty members on an NSF-funded education project. Citrin has conducted research on various informal K-12 engineering education projects and has worked on developing assessment methods for these projects. Citrin has organized various student events such as the Lafayette College Engineering Brain Bowl and the Lafayette College STEM Camp, to both promote engineering and science education for K-12 students, as well as assess the learning outcomes of these programs.
