Our group is committed to providing research opportunities to high school students in our laboratory at Dartmouth. We maintain close connections with the Upward Bound program, which is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. department of Education that provides opportunities to disadvantaged high school students to succeed in their pre-college performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits.

February 8, 2019: Great outreach event today with Upward Bound high school students who visited our lab from Vermont and NY! Our group had fun sharing our enthusiasm for chemical sensing and metal-organic frameworks!
November 9, 2015: Upward Bound High School Students from Vermont Visit Dartmouth College. The Mirica Group designed and organized the visit to give the students an idea of what it is like to be a research scientist. The visit included the tour of the NMR facility, tour of the roof-top green house, lunch with current Dartmouth students, and a lab activity on making chemical sensors from carbon nanomaterials by drawing!
