Only 20% of MS 8th graders demonstrated science proficiency and only 4.6% of MS high school students earned a 3 or higher on an AP exam in 2018.13 In 2019, only 37.4% of MS students met the national standard for college and career ready. This impacts the STEM pipeline. While MS needs medical practitioners, we also need a wider biomedical workforce including a public health workforce to address the health challenges and inequities Mississippians face. Project SCORE operates with the following mission: As a comprehensive science enrichment program, we engage with students in participatory educational and research experiences in public health disciplines. Project SCORE aims to engage, educate, and mentor students to participate in the health sciences. The program meets on a weekly basis during the academic year. The sessions bring experts, graduate students, and undergraduate students together to facilitate engaging, interactive health science lessons. Year 1 of the program is now complete and year 2 is underway.Evaluation findings indicate:•Students disliked formal presentations (e.g., Powerpoint lectures) and completing handouts•Students preferred activities that allowed for active engagement and participation.•Students were more engaged with physical activity and movement.•Near peer mentors identified additional training needsThese insights were utilized to make adjustments for Year 2. Updates included:• Added time for the high school students to be active at start of session• Incorporated social emotional learning with mindfulness activities• Removed formal instruction and replaced it with more engaging health science lessons• Incorporated physical movement and more interaction in all lessons• Created weekly training and professional development program for the Near Peer Mentors to learn best practices when engaging with students in an afterschool learning environment.Fall Sessions Spring SessionsSession 1: Introduction to ProjectSession 1: Welcome and ReviewSession 2: Intro to Public Health Session 2: Research EthicsSession 3: Epidemiology Session 3: Health PolicySession 4: Careers in the Health SciencesSession 4: Developing a Research AgendaSession 5: Health Literacy Session 5: Health CommunicationSession 6: Health Disparities Session 6: Research Health Ed MessagingSession 7: Scientific Research MethodsSession 7: Develop Health Ed MessageSession 8: Research Questions Session 8: Presentations & Close CeremonyStudents actively engaged in a Public Health Lesson.Students establishing  classroom agreements while in SCORE.SCORE Students out for a walk to decompress after school.
