Our goal is to bring contemporary science and mathematics into middle school classrooms. Rutgers graduate students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines conduct hands-on-scientific activities on the Rutgers Science Explorer, extending the Rutgers science community beyond the New Brunswick/Piscataway campuses. GK-12 fellows, originally funded by the NSF DRK12 grant, are currently supported by the external grants, donations, the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS), and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS).
