Undergraduate student Andy Hardy interacts with children in the Math Zone, part of the STEMzone event held before last fall’s UGA-Auburn football game. STEMzone was created in 2017 by Reni Kaul, a Ph.D. student in ecology, to provide a venue for STEM students and organizations on campus to share their research with the public. “Scientists want others to know how our research fits into our greater understanding of the world and how it can be used,” she says. “Events like STEMzone provide opportunities to engage with people we might never come into contact with otherwise.” The university is devoting major resources to improving STEM facilities on campus, breaking ground on the $65 million I-STEM Research Building in November.
