Students Volunteer at STEM Summer Workshop
Raritan Valley Community College student Manuela Bulgaro served as Creative Director in August with the Annis Young Innovators Initiative, Mission: Safe Landing, held at the Hillsborough Municipal Building.
Bulgaro, a second-year Honors College student majoring in Social Sciences, volunteered along with RVCC student Michela Ruffa, who served in the role of Student Nurse & Youth Engagement Support, as well as several students from Rutgers University School of Engineering.
During the peer-to-peer mentorship program, led by the college students, more than 30 sixth graders learned about physics, gravity, and other topics, and helped design a rocket that would keep a raw egg intact when dropped from a certain height.
As the Creative Director for the STEM workshop, Bulgaro first proposed the project to the Hillsborough Recreative Department, secured sponsors, and coordinated key components to bring it to fruition.
