Grades 6-12 Programs

This is a no-cost online program that seeks to build capacity and STEM identity in students around exciting hands-on curricula grounded in community environmental issues. This program brings together UCI faculty and students from the science and engineering departments, informal educators from local non-profit organizations, and teacher leaders to support STEM at the elementary levels.
