Michigan Tech students specialize in science that will blow your mind and they’re taking that experience into the Hancock Middle School.

At the Hancock Mind Trekkers Event, eighth graders got a feel for science through a number of hands on activities.

Mind Trekkers President Kimberly D’Augustino says these students are taking advantage of the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduates Program, otherwise known as Gear Up.

8^th grader Miaja Markkanen says Mind Trekkers make science more fun.

Youth Program Coordinator for Michigan Tech Jen Martin says events like these help the Gear Up program students to start thinking ahead to college.

The Mind-Trekkers visit the students every month.
