Camps and retreats
In partnership with national and regional organizations, we offer a range of in-person and virtual programming to empower youth from equity-deserving groups as they develop new skills and explore careers in STEM and the trades.
Physics in the Rural Classroom
Our roster of STEM Role Models and expert guest speakers will support grades 7 to 12 science and physics classes, demystifying challenging concepts and inspiring the next generations of scientists, thinkers and innovators.
Evaluation tools in STEM Outreach
Moving beyond quantitative data for evaluating the impact of STEM programming, our research includes interdisciplinary, qualitative approaches to create effective measurement tools for outreach programs.
