Situation: Students on the organization’s network often had access to academic experiences (scholarships competitions, fellowships, awards) from other sources, making the organization not reach their target audience.

Task: To develop a program to broaden access for underrepresented communities, providing them with the experiences they would need for academic success.

Action: I led a pilot program for 9 students, divided into three groups, to conduct scientific research about education in Brazil.

Result: Each group received awards for their research at national science fairs. Two students used this experience to secure scholarships for studying abroad.
