We aim to open doors to STEM opportunities for all students with high interest and high potential in math and science but little access to advanced mathematical study.
Students must be from lower-income families to attend. Additionally, we consider the resources available at their schools.
We reach broadly when we admit students, because we believe that every student should be able to access deep STEM learning (not just those already connected to opportunities).
Most of our students will be the first in their families to go to college. Many come from communities historically underrepresented in STEM, including Black and Latine students.
Our students come from:
Los Angeles: Koreatown, Pico-Union, Boyle Heights, South LA
New York: Across the boroughs
National Program: NY, CA, UT, TN, NM
