Project SEED 2019

Partnering Institutions:

SEED I Program: For first time SEED students, usually high school juniors who have completed one year of chemistry and have been recommended by their teachers or counselors. Students receive a $2500 fellowship award. SEED II Program: Returning SEED students continuing for a second summer research experience. Students receive a $3000 fellowship award. All SEED students must meet income and academic eligibility requirements.

SEED I Project and Student selection process:

• December/January:

Contact research chemists at area institutions for interest in mentoring Project SEED students. Collect project abstracts.

• January 31st: Submit abstracts and SEED I and II application to

national SEED office

• April: Solicit applications from area high schools through email

notices to high school science teachers and counselors.

• May: Receive applications and select short list of students based
• n income, academic and written essay.
• May/June: Interview short-listed students with mentors at SVSU
• June: Select and notify chosen students
• End of June: Students begin internship
• End of August: Students complete projects and submit Final

Reports

• September/October:

Poster Presentation at Fall Scientific Meeting

Michael Powers (Chippewa HS) – Senior

• mentored by Dr. Anja Mueller at CMU.

Project: Zinc Removal from Water

• Project entailed preparation of polymers used a filter materials

for zinc removal from wastewater

• Prepared polymers of methylacrylate-methacrylamide random

copolymer and varying low % of tert-butyl acrylate.

• Zinc solutions (varying concentrations) were filtered both by

gravity filtration and pressure column testing.

• Efficiency of zinc removal were analyzed by flame absorption

spectroscopy

Results:

• Successful filtration >99% removal of Zn (80ppm) with

< 4% of t-butyl acrylate in the copolymer

SEED I – Summer 2019

Michael Powers (Chippewa HS) – Junior Reflection: “This great opportunity has allowed me to see what it is like to be a research chemist, a career that has interested me for a very long time. Now that I know what to expect, I am even more excited to begin my career in this field, and I feel more prepared than ever for my future.”

• This SEED program could not happen without the generous participation of the

SEED faculty mentors from SVSU, CMU, former Michigan Molecular Institute, Dow Chemical and Dow Corning who have offered their time, resources and guidance to these very young students.

• Mentors Dr. Jennifer Chaytor, Dr. Tami Sivy and Dr. Anja Mueller shared their many

years of experiences working with their SEED students at CERM 2019.

CERM 2019 Project SEED Symposium June 7, 2019

• Dr. Jennifer Chaytor

SVSU The ACS Project SEED program provides high school students with valuable experience in a undergraduate research lab, and integrates well with the Dow SSEC Summer Research Experience at SVSU. Challenges

• Project SEED program is longer than the Dow SSEC program
• Rate of pay is different between the programs
• Confusion with HR

Benefits

• Help with supervision
• Lots of built-in career planning experiences
• Project is designed to fit into 6 – 7 weeks and provide meaningful results
• SEED student gets to work with other high school students, teachers, and

undergraduate students

• More opportunities to communicate their results (Dow SSEC Symposium)

CERM 2019 Project SEED Symposium June 7, 2019

• Presented at FSM 2016 and 2017

CERM 2019 Project SEED Symposium June 7, 2019

• Dr. Tami Sivy

SVSU

Caveats

• Perhaps some SVSU students taking advantage of SEED

students for their work?

• Making sure they were adequately supervised
• Transportation
• Lack of support for supplies
• Generational differences in ability to communicate

Benefits

• SVSU students loved having them
• They never complained
• I enjoyed mentoring them

CERM 2019 Project SEED Symposium June 7, 2019

• SEED program gives these students a way to start with research

experiences

• Small contained research projects (with safe chemicals) that are

part of bigger projects work best

• Prepare students with

– Safety training, daily lectures (with a little HW), instrument training, working closely with another student on the same project – Integration into Research group: weekly group meetings, group ‘chores’, go to presentations of other group members

Student Comments

• “Because I was more experienced this summer, I was able to work more on

my own”

• “Dr. Mueller has group meeting every Tuesday and those are my favorite

because I got to learn and hear about everyone else’s experiments”.

• “I have realized just how necessary research is to our world, and how many

areas need more research.”

• “I learned so much this past summer and I hope to take that with me into

college and when I get a job.”

• Dr. Mueller: “Its so worth it!”
• Dr. Anja Mueller

CMU

Acknowledgements

• This SEED program could not happen without the generous

participation of the SEED faculty mentors

• Dr. Jennifer Chaytor, Dr. Anja Mueller and Dr. Tami Sivy and all other

past faculty mentors from SVSU, CMU and previously Dow Corning have offered their time, resources and guidance to these very young students.

• Many thanks to them for their past and hopefully continued

participation.

• It has been my pleasure to serve as Coordinator since 2011 (and co-

coordinator with Dave Karpovich 2011 – 2016) and I wish continued success to the Students and Mentors with the new coordinator for this Project SEED program for the Midland Section. – Bernadette Harkness
