What We Do
We engage students and faculty with the K-12 STEM community by developing sustainable and mutually beneficial informal STEM education programs. These programs are designed to pique interest; foster both STEM literacy development and skills for success in STEM; demonstrate the role of STEM in an equitable and just society, and raise awareness about STEM careers. We design our programs to be equitable and inclusive so that all students in our region have access to these opportunities to explore, learn, & succeed.
