Youth enrichment activities could harm mental health
University of Georgia

In a new study from the University of Georgia, researchers found that the time high schoolers spend on so-called enrichment activities—including tutoring, sports, school clubs and even homework—is negatively affecting their mental health. The study also found that any additional enrichment activities are unlikely to benefit students academically. While the ideal number of study hours will vary student by student, researchers found that adding more enrichment activities is unlikely to benefit students. Many people think additional study time or tutoring will lead to better test scores and grades, but this research shows that students are already at their limit. Any more “enrichment” will have negative returns.

A new policy brief from Michigan State University and Wayne State University researchers finds that in an era of highly partisan politics, the Growing Michigan Together Council succeeded in finding common ground among members from diverse backgrounds and with diverse perspectives. However, despite the council’s best efforts, the brief states that the vision for education cannot be implemented, beyond relatively modest initiatives, without new revenues and a reversal of the state’s long-term disinvestment in public services.

Hands-on science creates winning conditions for local youth
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

For kids in underserved communities, access to STEM experiences does not come as a given. Candice Halbert, YO-STEM founder and chemist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is working to change this. Halbert devotes her time outside the lab to building STEM opportunities for youth in nearby communities. YO-STEM, or Youth Outreach in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, has served the local community for seven years, and this marks year three for its competitive co-ed robotics teams. Currently, YO-STEM robotics teams, Radium and Gr8ness, rank 16 and 17 out of 145 teams in Tennessee registered for the middle-school robotics competition hosted by VEX on March 8 and 9 in Hendersonville, Tenn. The two teams are also the only Knox County teams in the state’s top 20 for this robotics competition.
