The mission of STEM Initiative
is to create and facilitate
accessible STEM education to
young students, to foster
creativity by connecting other
like-minded scientists, and to
make a lasting positive impact
on these students.
1
Science is a universal language. No matter where you live, the
same scientific principles and phenomena exist around the
globe. In recent years, literacy of the STEM fields (science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics) in the United States
has been on a decline when compared to that of other OECD
countries. There is a noticeable gap between students who can
access STEM education and those who have insufficient or hardly
any access at all.
Roughly a year ago, we decided to start a movement called the
STEM Initiative. We both come from a strong STEM background
starting in high school, and are currently studying the sciences at
a university leading in STEM education and research. Many of
our colleagues share the same passion for STEM, and enjoy
learning, teaching, and advancing in the STEM field. Just a few
steps outside our campus, there are public school systems where
children do not receive quality STEM education by today’s
standards. The solution is simple - to create a program where
motivated, educated, and passionate university students can
mentor and inspire younger students to pursue the STEM fields
and higher-level education.
STEM Initiative started August of 2013, and it has been a roller
coaster ride ever since. To date, we’ve successfully started an
after-school program at our local middle school, Adlai E.
Stevenson School No. 29. By programming and networking,
local families and university students have also shared their
passion for science in a family friendly setting at our Family
Science Day in April. Being less than a year old, the STEM
initiative has come a long way, and we are both excited looking
forward to how much this group will evolve in the months and
years to come.
Sincerely,
George Iwaoka Jenny Yoon

Number of kids whom we
have reached out to through
our various initiatives
STEM Initiative is fortunate to be working with a
supportive advisor, Emma Rainwater, and
partners from the University of
Rochester and the local Rochester
community. We first reached out
to the Principal Tanya Wilson of a
local Rochester school, Adlai E. Stevenson School
No. 29. She was very supportive in our efforts to encourage the STEM fields
to the students. Through conversing back and
forth with Ms. Wilson, we were able to connect
with the afterschool program that the nearby Boys
and Girls Club of Rochester hosts at School 29.
This afterschool program was created to help
provide a place where kids of working parents can
learn and have fun after normal school hours.
With the afterschool program, we were able to
create a biweekly outreach program where STEM
Initiative student volunteers would come conduct
experiments or lead activities with the students.
Our goal was to establish personal bonds with the
5th-8th graders and impart information about the
STEM fields to them. As time passed the middle
school students became more comfortable and more engaged in the projects. By the end of the
year it was clear the STEM Initiative has built
a bridge between the student volunteers
and the middle schoolers.
For our outreach projects throughout the
year, we received help from many different
student organizations. As we went into
School 29 on a biweekly basis, we gladly
accepted lesson plans from other groups, as
well as volunteers. One of the most
successful lessons came from the Optics
Society, whose famous “experiment-in-a-
briefcase” set–up is always a favorite with
students. By visiting School 29 in person,
Optics Society helped STEM Initiative forge a
Many organizations collaborated with STEM throughout the
year including Baja SAE. Luis Martinez (left) and Nicholas
Van Swol (right) helped run a booth to showcase their off-

program with Adlai E. Stevenson School No. 29 in the

more wide-reaching bond with the greater
Rochester community, and provided more
UofR students with the opportunity to
volunteer in the university. In terms of student
involvement, our most successful event was
definitely our end of the year Family Science
Day. With the assistance of over 20 student
organizations, we were able to put on a large-
scale fair showcasing all of the wonderful
groups on campus. Families were able to stop
by booths featuring each group, and
participate in experiments representing each
group’s interests. Not only did this event
broadcast the amazing things U of R students
are doing on-campus, but it increased the
STEM Initiative impact on the community.
While promoting Family Science Day, we worked with The Democrat and Chronicle, our local
Rochester newspaper, and the Rochester Buzz newsletter all helped get the word out. Through
inclusion on the events page of the D&C, and running a review of the event on the University of
Rochester website, both of these media outlets helped us gain public attention for our great
event! When planning future events, we plan on using these connections to advertise and
promote our activities, and we plan on reaching out to more news organizations so that we can
reach as large an audience as possible.
STEM Initiative’s event received a lot of attention from the
local community, including the media. Jenny Yoon is
being interviewed by Time Warner Cable at the 2014
Family Science Day.

STEM Initiative | 2014 Academic Year Annual Report
From our first interest meeting in Gleason Theater to the “Family Science Day”, STEM initiative
has undergone a transformation from a bunch of ideas to a well-established student
organization. Without much financial founding, the group had to be creative on its spending
and seek out additional resources. In hindsight, our major projects—the weekly workshops at
School 29 and the first annual “Family Science Day”— would have been impossible without the
collaborative internal efforts and external supports. On behalf of STEM Initiative, my most
sincere gratitude goes out to those individuals and organizations.
The business manager’s responsibility was to create a foundation of how the financial decisions
should be made in the future. While many of these decisions were well counseled by the rest of
the e-board members, they were nonetheless experimental and often led to many exciting
challenges. This report hopefully identifies these challenges for general readers and addresses
the advices for the future business managers.
Funding for Lesson Plans Intelligently
This semester, STEM Initiative received the total budget of $30 from SA. Without much financial
support, the e-board members agreed to target low-cost lesson plans with comparable
educational values for our students of School 29. Hence, eleven submissions, ranging from $0
to $23.33, were carefully selected.
The average cost of a lesson plan was roughly $6. With the anticipation of bigger budget next
year, the group may finally be able to afford more costly lesson plans that we unfortunately had
to set aside this year. However, if funding proves to be a persistent issue in the future, the
business manager must find alternative routes to fund these intricate plans.
7
STEM Initiative | 2014 Academic Year Annual Report
1. Collaborate with other student organizations.
From the fiscal point of view, this will free up the budgets set aside for multiple lesson plans and
consolidate into one. As a precedent, STEM Initiative collaborated with the Optical Society of
America (OSA) this semester in hosting an optics-related workshop. OSA was kind enough to
fund for the entirety of the workshop, and many other organizations have reached out to
coordinate something similar ever since.
2. Buy some supplies in bulk.
The appendix shows that some items are used in more than one lesson. If the business
manager can identify and purchase useful items with long shelf lives in bulk, the group may be
able to create long-term savings— even if they are more expensive at the moment. Upon
purchase, it would be up to the discretion of the business manager to keep track of the
inventory and store these items in designated storage space for the future use.
3. Keep a close attention to the balance of the financial account.
Purchase orders, similar to those used by SAAC for any fund withdrawal, can be used to keep
record of purchases. While SAAC limits the use of purchase orders to business managers, having
members with intention to use the organizations money to fill out an unofficial copy will allow
the business manager to monitor the club expenditures and reduce any waste.
Planning and Budgeting for the Family Science Day (FSD) The Family Science Day this year was held on April 19th. With the initial $30 dollars already
exhausted, this event was going to rely exclusively on external funding: student organizations
willing to pay for the event expenses. While an invitation for cosponsorship can go out to any
student organizations, the business manager should strongly consider reaching out to residential
hall councils as early as possible. Every semester, each hall councils set a budget for hall
programming. The council has the power to utilize this fund to cosponsor qualifying events.
The date of the FSD was very close to the end of the semester. According to the business
manager’s manual, cosponsorship of an event must follow the procedure of an internal
requisition (IR). Since this process requires the cosponsoring group to fill out IR forms to initiate
fund transfer, the business manager must touch bases regularly with the appropriate
chairpersons of the cosponsoring group in order to receive needed funds in timely manner. Be
aware that the funds for any SA-funded groups freeze by the end of the year.
When reaching out to potential cosponsors, it is recommend that the business manager
establish the minimum amount since the estimate cost of an event is subjected to change. So it
is up to the business manager to reevaluate the amount of necessary funding in accordance to 8
STEM Initiative | 2014 Academic Year Annual Report
the predicted margin of error. Even with preparation, however, it is quite possible that the
actual invoice turns out to be vastly greater than expected. In accordance to the facilities’ initial
quote of $312 for renting and maintaining tables and chairs, we raised $350 from various hall
councils. The revised receipt for the event was $250 over-budget and created much discourse
for the e-board.
Thankfully, the extensive conversation between the representative of facilities and their
contractor, Nolan’s, and the co-presidents corrected this misunderstanding down to roughly
$400. STEM Initiative still had to reach out to IEEE and BMES for the insufficient funds by the
SAAC deadline. Retrospectively, the miscommunication with the facilities during the planning
process occurred due to the little interaction between them and the business manager.
Closure With the recognition as an official SA-funded club, the role of the business manager for STEM
Initiative will grow. The content of this report is intended to marry the beneficial lessons learned
from our trial period and the official protocols that any SA-funded organizations must follow. As
the final remark, the business manager should be familiar with any upcoming lesson plans and
other events that STEM Initiative intends to accomplish. Especially with the plan to expand our
outreach programs and other major events in upcoming years, the business manager should
regularly counsel the executive board and diligently communicate with other relevant
organizations.

Afterschool Science Program The after-school program is where the
magic happens. It is where the hard work
put in each week from E-board, our
members and collaborating campus clubs
comes to life.
It all started in January 2014 where
students at School 29 were shy and
perhaps intimated by having college
students teach them about science. The
volunteers would make it as interactive as
possible to make the children feel at ease.
Little by little, the children opened up to
become their usual bubbly self. It became
really fun when they were finally
comfortable, and started knowing the
volunteers by name!
In terms of teaching, students were very responsive. They were eager to learn and answered the
volunteers’ guiding question well. However, the volunteers noticed that they would sometimes
have to calm the students because they would become restless or overexcited. In general, the
students were very cool and we even became attached to them!
But let’s remember why we’re there. Of course we like to have fun, but additionally to teach
children about the science that surrounds us everyday. And to improve this aspect, feedback of

STEM Initiative | 2014 Academic Year Annual Report
the after-school program is talked about during the E-board weekly meetings. The good news is
that each lesson is very fun and well thought of on paper. But that’s just it: on paper. Sometimes
the plan does not go as smoothly as we would have hoped. One particular lesson comes to
mind: building bridges with marshmallows is a great way for kids to learn about architecture. The
purpose was to demonstrate how the triangle was the strongest structure to hold bridges.
However, the plan backfired when the children convinced themselves that the square was the
best structure. Although that was not exactly what the volunteers were gearing towards, it was
great to see that the children were focusing on what they built and use their critical thinking. In
the future, it seems that it would be beneficial to try the lesson plan beforehand and tweak it to
Overall, the children are motivated, fun and excited to learn. STEM Initiative is enthusiastic of the
progress we have made in the afterschool program and cannot wait to have the magic happen
in the classroom next semester!
Family Science Day Family Science Day was held on April 19th,
2014 from 1-4PM in the Munnerlyn Atrium of
the Goergen Hall Biomedical Engineering
building. This culminating community event
showcased the many STEM-related student
groups at the University of Rochester. Local
students and families were invited to attend
this free event, and explore the various STEM
groups at the U of R.
Whether it was Optics Society of America or
the Undergraduate Chemistry Council, every
participating student group was represented
at a booth at Family Science Day. Each group prepared hands-on demonstrations and
experiments for young students and families to enjoy. More than 300 people attended this
event, and more than 20 U of R student groups participated as cosponsors. Time Warner Cable
also made an appearance to broadcast Family Science Day on local television.
Overall, the event was an incredible success due to the diligence of our student volunteers as
well as the support from the local Rochester community. We hope to continue to organize
community events for younger students in the area, and inspire them to pursue higher-level
education through the STEM Initiative. 11

Family Science Day 2014 was a huge success which brought
in over 300 people to the event.
Sarah Jensen, University of Rochester
Medical Emergency Response Team
Family Science Day was an incredibly
organized event that engaged families in
hands on activities and experiments. It
was a great way to expose younger kids
to a wide variety of scientific fields, and
this event clearly demonstrated that the
STEM Initiative at the University of
Rochester works hard to provide younger
students with opportunities that extend
beyond their typical classroom
experiences. R/C MERT was thrilled to
cosponsor the event. All of the
volunteers, including myself, had a great
time interacting with the families that
came by the booth. The kids were
interested to hear their heart beat
through the stethoscopes, and were
excited to learn how to splint an arm and
administer an EpiPen. I look forward to
this event next year!

STEM Initiative's Family day was a phenomenal
gathering of creative, brilliant minds from
organizations on campus to contribute to the greater
Rochester community by sharing their passion for
science and technology with young children and their
parents. I hope we can spark an interest in these
youngsters' minds to inspire them to innovate and
create for the betterment of our society. Pedro Vallejo Ramirez teaches a class of 5th to 8th graders how optics work through simple tools and lenses during a STEM Initiative’s afterschool STEM workshop session at Adlai E. Stevenson School No. 29.

Koji Muto, University of Rochester
President of Tau Beta Pi New York Kappa Chapter Working with the STEM Initiative has
provided me with a unique opportunity
that I wish all college students can
experience. I have taught peers and
underclassmen as a teaching assistant, but
working with middle school students is
entirely different. They are not learning
solely to do well on tests, but learning for
the sake of learning - because it's fun.
That's the sort of mentality that we want to
foster. Admittedly, it is difficult task, but
STEM Initiative does it in all the right ways.
The focus is on fun, hands-on experiments
that the kids find exciting. Moreover, this is
not paid or a for-credit option - there is
no forced component. Instead, the student
teachers volunteer their time because they
are genuinely interested in mentoring these middle school students. With the right curriculum,
passionate teachers, and willing students, you have a winning combination that has made STEM
Initiative the success story it is today. I eagerly look forward to continuing to work with the STEM
Initiative.
Amanda Chen, University of Rochester
Former President of Tau Beta Pi New York Kappa Chapter, Goldwater Scholar I really enjoyed the small bit of help I was able to contribute to STEM Initiative this year! I regret
not being able to physically be present at the lessons, but it was very fun to be able to prepare a
lesson on hydrogels for the students. I think the general set-up that you have for the program is
great. One suggestion I might have is to collect reviews of the lessons (from the students,
volunteers, and the teacher(s)) so that people that are not present (e.g. lesson writer, non-
attending volunteers, e-board) can understand from the documentation how successful a lesson
was. This might help clarify what works and what doesn't work in the classroom.
Viola Spahiu, University of Rochester
Volunteer Coordinator of STEM Initiative As one of the two volunteer coordinators this past year, I had the opportunity to collaborate and
work with an amazing group of students, consisting of both undergraduates and the students
we work with at School #29. I looked forward to Friday afternoons all week, knowing that I would

get out of my “bubble” for a few hours and work on
some really cool experiments with the kids. At times,
the lesson plans were a learning experience for me as
well, and I really enjoyed learning about topics that I
normally wouldn’t cover in my classes such as optics
and cryptography. As a volunteer coordinator, you
become really attached to the kids and you sincerely
hope that you’ve had an impact in the way that they
perceive their educations. I look forward to the next
school year and can’t wait to see not only how our
STEM programs evolve, but also how our kids grow
throughout the process.
Jordan Snajczuk, University of Rochester
Volunteer Coordinator of STEM Initiative Participating in the STEM Initiative this year was such
a great experience. I still remember going to School
29 on the first day of the program wondering whether
any children would show up. As it turned out,
attendance was not an issue and on the contrary, all
of the students asked when we were coming back! It
was extremely fulfilling to go into the classrooms every week and work with so many energetic
students who were interested in the STEM field. As one of the volunteer coordinators, I also
loved being in close contact with all of the undergraduates who dedicated time out of their
schedules to teach. Hearing feedback from both the volunteers from U of R and the students at
School 29 was extremely helpful and led to some key organizational changes in the lesson plans
and also in different behind-the-scenes aspects of the club (transportation, scheduling
volunteers, etc.) Overall, I am so impressed with the success that this organization has achieved
in one short year. In addition to the weekly school visits, bigger projects like Family Science Day
have shown the great potential that the STEM Initiative has for the future. With such a great
year behind us, I can only hope that next year brings us more volunteers, increased funding for
more complicated experiments, and another group of hardworking and bright students who are
willing to learn!

Website Launch
By the end of the summer of 2014, the STEM Initiative will have a running website for accessible
information regarding our community work, our partnerships, and club updates. The website will
also have features enabling students to submit digitized lesson plans, sign up for to volunteer for
workshops, and send feedback back to the STEM Initiative executive board.
Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign In order to relieve financial restraints on lesson plans and supplies, the STEM Initiative will launch
a crowd-funding campaign through Indigogo in the summer of 2014. The funds raised through
this campaign will entirely be used to budget the activities of STEM Initiative. The business
manager along with the assistance of the executive board will be managing the funds. We hope
that the money raised through Indigogo will be help us fun elaborate lesson plans, purchase
basic supplies, organize community events, and publicize to schools, companies, and sponsors.
Chapter Expansion Although the STEM Initiative was founded this past spring, chapter expansion to other
universities is a very promising idea. In the future, we hope to work with other universities to
establish STEM Initiative at various campuses in order to serve the public schools in those
respective areas. The main mission of the STEM Initiative will still be intact, and we will strive to
create free, accessible STEM workshops for public schools.
Collaborations with other STEM Organizations One of the key factors responsible for the expansion of the STEM Initiative is to network with
organizations with similar mission statements. This will enable our club to not only reach a
greater audience, but also to learn and feed off of groups that have succeeded in making the
STEM field more accessible. We hope to collaborate with non-profit organizations, similar after-
school programs, STEM magazines and publications, and other university groups amongst other
collaborations.
