itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experience (S.M.I.L.E.) program serves underrepresented students, from kindergarten through high school, providing opportunities to increase their success in STEM. Â鶹´«Ã½ hosted over 100 students from seven local elementary schools on March 16th for the Elementary Challenge Day. The schools included: Chiloquin ES, Allen Dale ES, Highland ES, Parkside ES, Redwood ES, Riverside ES, and Jackson ES. The SMILE program offers an inclusive community, with high expectations of the students involved, fostering positive attitudes, and aims to provide continuous improvement of their skills throughout participation in the program.<\/p>\n<p>The program started at Oregon State University in 1988 as an afterschool enrichment program. Many of the participants are from minority backgrounds, have low household incomes, or are first-generation students. This program enhances mindsets, encouraging the children to believe that they are able to attend college and can strive to participate in a career in science, technology, engineering, or math. This also increases the high school graduation rates for these students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1bv1w-47211233fa328a99c3bc9f3f7df32163\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-m1bv1w-47211233fa328a99c3bc9f3f7df32163 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1bv1w-47211233fa328a99c3bc9f3f7df32163 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>At Â鶹´«Ã½, the Computer Science Club and Chemistry Club, all current undergraduates, ran activities alongside the S.M.I.L.E. program. CS Club president Harley Chappell is currently studying computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, cyber security, cloud computing, and data science. Chemistry Club President Kalea Adams is a senior studying chemistry and will attend the University of Oregon electrochemistry master\u2019s program after she graduates.<\/p>\n<p>Harley Chappell, Nole Stites, and Ian Ingram were all proctors for the Computer Science Club activity. They showed students what they could do using the Scratch website that would allow them to create their own paths of creativity. They showed the students functionalities of loops, movements, and sprites. When students wanted more, they continued with a planned \u201csample program\u201d with which students enthusiastically followed along. The club\u2019s session allowed students to utilize their creative skills and see how programming can be both fun and unique, as the fun of Computer Science and programming is often sometimes underestimated.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li><em>\u201cThe SMILE program has been close to me since I was a kid. I grew up in Corvallis and I personally know the people who started the program. I was excited last year to see that they offered my Computer Science Club the chance to participate and the then president took the opportunity and I joined with excitement. SMILE is a very important event for these students as they do not get much opportunity elsewhere to learn about science topics in person. The value this brings is immense and deserves to be a yearly occurrence here at Â鶹´«Ã½.\u201d<br \/>\n&#8211; Harley Chappell<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lwqnnpw4-07510b49aebbb1e464f3edac1d94deb2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lwqnnpw4-07510b49aebbb1e464f3edac1d94deb2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lwqnnpw4-07510b49aebbb1e464f3edac1d94deb2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lwqnnpw4-07510b49aebbb1e464f3edac1d94deb2 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-225x300.webp 225w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-773x1030.webp 773w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-768x1024.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-1152x1536.webp 1152w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-1125x1500.webp 1125w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-529x705.webp 529w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers.jpg\" height=\"1600\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-773x1030.jpg 773w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-1125x1500.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/classroom-full-of-students-on-computers-529x705.jpg 529w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-89072 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-89072 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Classroom full of students on computers\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lwgzyto6-fb453f0ff08cd27aaf136a6e91e0bec4\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lwgzyto6-fb453f0ff08cd27aaf136a6e91e0bec4 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lwgzyto6-fb453f0ff08cd27aaf136a6e91e0bec4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Kalea Adams, president of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Chemistry Club, organized a demonstration similar to the club\u2019s annual event known as Fall Into Chemistry.

Two such demos were \u201ccolored flames\u201d and \u201cmethane bubbles,\u201d where they used various metal salts to create flames in a rainbow of colors, and ignited flammable gas bubbles held in their hands.

According to OSU Precollege Programs Assistant Becca Harver, \u201cThe students enjoyed the experience from beginning to end and were enthralled by the activities run by the Chemistry Club and Computer Science Club! They also enjoyed touring campus and had many questions about college life, (especially the dorms). The pizza lunch was a big hit and helped keep the kids energized. I greatly appreciate this group&#8217;s assistance with coordination and look forward to working together again next year!\u201d Amongst these youngsters from across the Rogue Valley, we may have future students and scholars who will be inspired to explore the sciences here at Â鶹´«Ã½ and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lwqnmtkn-e4e35a50dee33ba1282a1fc01cd1d8d6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lwqnmtkn-e4e35a50dee33ba1282a1fc01cd1d8d6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lwqnmtkn-e4e35a50dee33ba1282a1fc01cd1d8d6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lwqnmtkn-e4e35a50dee33ba1282a1fc01cd1d8d6 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-768x431.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-705x396.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture.jpg\" height=\"674\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/students-raising-hands-during-lecture-705x396.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-89070 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-89070 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Students raising hands during lecture\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lwh03xq0-200c6f0c0deea0103215c1969b398f8e\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lwh03xq0-200c6f0c0deea0103215c1969b398f8e .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lwh03xq0-200c6f0c0deea0103215c1969b398f8e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Sources<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/smile.oregonstate.edu\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">About Us Oregon State University Science &amp; Math Investigative Learning Experiences<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g9PwHBDGL5g&amp;t=107s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are SMILE Clubs?
