ASCLS HI participates in STEMfest
February 20, 2023
On Nov. 11, 2022, ASCLS HI members presented the world of clinical laboratory science to Girl Scouts attending the STEMfest at Chaminade University. In 20 minute flash rounds, Kelie Augustine, Sheri Gon, Linda Sakuda, Lynn Nakahara, and Susan Naka introduced over 30 girls to infection control (hand hygiene), blood diseases (microscopic slides of blood smears), colon cancer (fecal occult blood), and pipetting techniques. Attendees were mainly in the elementary school age, so it was challenging to engage the girls at a very basic level. Nevertheless, it was rewarding to spark the interest and curiousity of these potential future clinical laboratory professionals.
