The importance of businesses investing in students cannot be overstated. We were thrilled to see this in action when Boston Scientific, through their HOLA program, engaged with our Marlborough High School sophomores and juniors in June. Volunteers from Boston Scientific visited MHS on June 6th and met with four different chemistry classes, showcasing the unique opportunities available to our students. Their visit aimed to increase student interest in and knowledge about STEM careers. The volunteers guided the students through a STEM challenge (straw & marshmallow tower) and then presented a panel discussion about their roles at Boston Scientific and their career journeys. Students also had the chance to ask questions and interact with the multilingual volunteers. One student shared, “I liked when the volunteers talked about what they did and their own experiences. This made me feel more comfortable and they made life outside of high school seem way more real.” Another student expressed their enthusiasm for the challenge, saying, “The tower building, I love overcoming challenges and building things.” These experiences are invaluable in sparking student interest in STEM careers and providing real-world insights. We are incredibly grateful to Boston Scientific and their HOLA program for their time and resources. As one student aptly said, “Thank you so much for coming! I enjoyed getting to learn more about STEM careers and gaining insight into the different roles at Boston Scientific.” Marlborough, Massachusetts is renowned as a life science hub, and we are proud to have one of Boston Scientific's headquarters right here in our community. Their continuous support of Marlborough Public Schools is just one example of how businesses can make a significant impact. We encourage other businesses to reach out and find ways to give back to their local school districts. Together, we can create amazing opportunities for our students!
