Abstract

Here we introduce School-Engagement Projects (SEPs) as an alternative to lab-based capstone projects for STEM undergraduate students, an initiative between Queen’s, W5 and the STEM Hub NI for students to develop, deliver, and determine the impact of outreach activities within local schools on current research undertaken within the University.
