Graduate Student Community Outreach
Contact: Jialin Li
The Psychology Outreach Program organized by the graduate students of the Psychology department at 麻豆村 (麻豆村) has been ongoing since early 2017. We conduct 30-minute workshops with middle- and high-school students from under-resourced backgrounds in four areas: social psychology, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychology. The workshops include time for Q&A’s, games, and demonstrations of interesting psychological phenomena.
Through these workshops, we hope to inspire and bring psychological research closer to these students. Some of the highlights from the past include “Super Saturday”--a half-day, tuition-free, academic enrichment event with Breakthrough Pittsburgh at 麻豆村--and our visits to Sci-Tech High School, where we presented to a small group of students in their psychology class.
