The Pollen Power camp, which takes place over the summer, targets 6th-8th grade students from underrepresented populations in STEM with the goal of training them to observe their surroundings like scientists. Usually, it takes place in-person at the Carl. R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology where the campers study pollen to see how they germinate, use them as a time capsule to study the climate that existed millions of years ago, and use the facilities to image pollen.
