The EDsnaps CLO Leadership Program is a FREE one (1) year- long program for college and university enrolled students from underserved and underrepresented populations. 

This program teaches students how they can profile their skills, talent(s), and work/study experiences in a compelling medium to effectively communicate their value to private and public employers. For the entrepreneurial-oriented students, they will learn how to become their own boss and be self-employed. 

EDsnaps vision is to increase diversity in the STEM workforce.

 

Diversity in our Board of Directors and Board of Advisors helps us to pursue the vision. 

Board of Advisor member Maura Kelly wrote an amazing case study about her role in EDsnaps.

EDsnaps is proud to partner with Timeline Digital.

 

We are excited to work with Carol Colmenares and Mariella Perez during our FREE 2019 Summer Program.

​

On their website it is stated: "At Timeline Digital, we produce compelling content for today’s multi-platform distribution outlets.  We know how to tell a story that will be memorable, a story that will reach your audience.  What’s your story?"

Without a doubt, our students are going to tell their OWN story !!! 

The EDsnaps students went on their first after school field trip to the  Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NYC. Hosted by  Dr. Yasmin Hurd and William Janssen. 

 

We discovered that the way real scientist design research questions is similar to our designed M&M research question approach. The fun thing was that when we received our results on the M&M research, we had more questions than we started with, which was also similar to “real-life” research as we found out, when we talked with Dr. Hurd and Mr. “Bill”.
