TFN will collaborate with Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) to ensure that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities in the makerspaces drive inquiry, creativity, and critical thinking.
Around 1,000 students will have access to the makerspaces and participate in hands-on STEM projects throughout the academic year, applying science, technology, engineering, and math concepts…
