KEMS (Kids Excelling in Math and Science) is an after school program at Hyattsville Middle School (near campus - 2.4 miles to be exact). The program is looking for mentors with STEM backgrounds to help out a few times this semester (even if you don't have a STEM background that's okay too).

Time commitment is 4-5:30pm on Mondays when you're able to make it. Please email MPP Student Chloe Mazzone at [email protected] if this is something you are interested in.
