Duggan hosted 12th graders from Boston Latin School and 9th graders from the John O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science for a special STEM field trip on our Boston campus to support Boston Public Schools’ STEM education initiatives.

We started the day with a formal introduction by administrative staff from the College of Engineering, including Dean Gregory D. Abowd, Associate Dean of Engineering Richard Harris, and Center for STEM Education’s Executive Director Claire Duggan, as well as John Tobin, VP of NEU’s City and Community Engagement team. In a meaningful demonstration of Northeastern’s commitment to STEM education in Boston, the College of Engineering presented a $10,000 check to support the Boston Public Schools’ annual STEM Fair.

On Friday January 23, 2026, the Michael B. Silevitch and Claire J. Duggan Center for STEM Education hosted 40 fourth grade Boston Public School students from the Henry Grew School in Hyde Park for another successful STEM field trip! Several Northeastern student volunteers helped teach and facilitate activities throughout the day.

The Grew students first learned about civil and mechanical engineering and the engineering design process by designing and building free-standing paper towers. Some teams’ designs spanned an impressive 20 inches tall! Then, using the engineering design process to guide their iterations, students revised and eagerly tested new designs with an additional sheet of paper to push their ideas farther!
