The SAY Program aims to foster the next generation of scientists by providing hands-on research opportunities for underserved high school students. The program brings appropriate research projects to local high schools to develop students' scientific curiosity and confidence in their abilities as researchers. Students work on projects involving 3D printing and modeling of blood vessels to investigate how vascular structures affect gene regulation. The program founders are seeking funding such as grants to expand and evaluate the efficacy of the SAY Program in empowering students and bringing educational equity through accessible scientific research experiences.
