Abstract

The Gaining Options to College Collaborative (GO College) is a successful college mentoring program within the Erie, Pennsylvania, school district. It provides free, on-site, extracurricular resources for local high schools. Faculty members from Gannon University partnered with GO College to design and implement a daylong program revolving around the Foldscope (CitationCybulski, Clements, and Prakash 2014) an inexpensive origami microscope, during GO College’s Rising Freshman Summer Camp in July 2017. Over 35 matriculating high school students from the Erie school district attended.
