As an after-school instructor for the Whiting School of Engineering's Center for Educational Outreach, Shaina Gregory's mission is to inspire Baltimore elementary school students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM disciplines. During non-pandemic times, afternoons would find Gregory at schools such as Dr. Bernard Harris, Jr. Elementary School, guiding youngsters taking part in activities offered by SABES Afterschool, a program from the Johns Hopkins STEM Achievement in Baltimore City Elementary Schools initiative that is aimed at strengthening STEM skills in early grades.
But then the pandemic came along, preventing Gregory and the host of Johns Hopkins students who volunteer with SABES from spending time in person with these young students. So Stephanie Buggs, a SABES coach who assists Gregory, came up with an idea: Have Hopkins engineering students videotape themselves describing research they find exciting and fulfilling to inform and motivate the what is computer engineering students.
