STEM Enrichment Opportunities

Advancements in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (the STEM disciplines) are essential to understanding the processes of our natural world and applying this understanding to problems facing society.

From ACE to UCLEADS we are proud to offer a veritable alphabet soup of programs where dedicated faculty and staff introduce students to the excitement of science and engineering and support them in their studies and preparation for careers. Making opportunities in the STEM disciplines available to students from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds is an important goal of our programs.

We invite you to enhance your educational experience by participating in these exciting and rewarding programs.

from STEM participants

“I have watered down the math into quirky little sayings or tricks on really just how to do it, not on how to understand it. Functional Language brings me back to the properties as the argument for all “legal moves” in algebra. Everything you must know is based on those properties, to omit them and replace them with a trick-What a disservice.”

- Anonymous, Teachers Professional Development in Mathematics


“This program really was an invaluable part of my academic and career development. It really plays an important role in getting students from non-academic families over the "hump" of any doubts they may have in their abilities to succeed in higher education. ”

- Patrick Furtado, SRI 2003, ACCESS participant


“I learned how to work in teams and respect each other. Also, it [SAA] helped me to succeed”
