Who can participate?
All STEMCorps programs aim to amplify voices and empower youth who come from historically underrepresented groups in STEM such as those who identify as women and/or Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC).
Young people in all places along their STEM journeys are welcome. There are opportunities for you to explore your curiosity and work toward your goals. We ask all participants to join with the intention to stick with their program for a minimum of one school year (October-May).
What do I need to be a Career Explorer?
CuriOdyssey provides resources such as digital devices and supporting educator staff. We ask our community partners to provide a physical meeting space for student participants, adult chaperone responsible for student supervision on-site and designated point-person to coordinate aspects of participant attendance with CuriOdyssey educators.
