STEM Education and Outreach

Overview

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.

Programs & Collaborations

Science Clubs International

@ Stanford

Science Clubs International (SCI) is a non-profit organization that provides free, hands-on STEM workshops for high school and university students in underserved areas.

Ready to collaborate? Reach out to us to explore partnership opportunities and join us in empowering the next generation of scientists!

Our mission

Our mission is to inspire the next generation of scientists 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, while also providing outreach and teaching opportunities for the Stanford community.
