Mission

WHAT IS QUEST? (Questioning, Understanding, Experiencing, and Scientific Thinking)

  • QUEST is a science education research project at the University of Miami in 
partnership with the Overtown Youth Center (https://overtownyouth.org).
  • QUEST is designed to increase students’ interest in science and in health science-related careers.

HOW DOES QUEST DO THIS? 


  • The QUEST project develops, implements, and evaluates a science enrichment curriculum, which emphasizes health and wellness topics. 

  • The enrichment curriculum makes science methodology concepts and practices easily accessible, relevant, and engaging to elementary school students. 


WHO BENEFITS FROM QUEST?
