START Queens
START Queens currently runs out of Queens College, City University of New York, US. The Queens Chapter began its journey in September of 2016, with only 3 volunteers. Since its founding, START Queens has grown to 100+ university volunteers.
​
Spearheaded by Rebecca Russo, Project START Science Queens reaches more than 150 fourth and fifth graders each year who attend PS 120Q. Students learn 8-10 modules a year ranging from lessons on engineering, genetics, biology, chemistry, and physics.
​
START Queens is excited to expand its impact by continuing to teach and share with students across the community!
START Queens recently launched a new module exploring the realm of engineering. The students were taught about different types of bridges including:
-
Suspension Bridges
-
Arch Bridges
-
Beam Bridges
-
Truss Bridges
​
With these tools in hand, the kids embarked on the
Gumdrop Challenge
They built bridges that were strong, cost-effective, and efficient using gumdrops and toothpicks.
To see some of the creative well-engineered bridges, check out START Queens College.
