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.
