STEM Education and Outreach
Science Clubs International @ Stanford
Our mission is to inspire the next generation of scientist through interactive and bilingual education programs for high school and college students. Our interactive workshops, known as "Clubes de Ciencia" are taught by graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, researchers and renowned experts from Stanford University in collaboration with partners in Latin America. Through our program, we aim to inspire and empower students to pursue careers in STEM and provide outreach and teaching opportunities for the Stanford community.
Ready to collaborate? Reach out to us to explore partnership opportunities and join us in empowering the next generation of scientists!
In our lab, we are also passionate about innovation in science education, STEM outreach, teaching and learning.
With the generous support of the Department of Bioengineering and of Genetics at Stanford University, we actively engage in a variety of impactful programs and collaborations to expand access to high quality STEM education. From interactive workshops to immersive experiences, discover how we're shaping the future of STEM education
