Students are self-motivated to learn when provided opportunities that connect theory and real-world applications. Here, we describe for biochemistry majors a newborn screening-focused outreach activity that seeks to develop students’ mastery of disciplinary content and soft skills (e.g., critical thinking, teamwork, effective communication, community engagement) and to enhance student engagement.

ABSTRACT
Students are self-motivated to learn when provided opportunities that connect theory and real-world applications. Here, we describe for biochemistry majors a newborn screening-focused outreach activity that seeks to develop students’ mastery of disciplinary content and soft skills (e.g., critical thinking, teamwork, effective communication, community engagement) and to enhance student engagement.
