Explore real-world problems and careers in STEM with Rutgers scientists
The Rutgers Science Explorer (RSE) program, also known as the "Rutgers Science Bus," provides the opportunity for middle school aged youth to interact with Rutgers graduate students and explore STEM concepts and careers. Our standards-based, hands-on activities engage youth in real-world problems and current Rutgers research.
This unique opportunity to foster interactions between scientists and students is available in two ways. Middle school students within a 50 miles radius of Rutgers New Brunswick Main Campus can participate in activities aboard our 40-foot long mobile laboratory. Alternatively, if a bus visit isn’t feasible, our scientists can lead the activities inside your classrooms or libraries.
Along with the opportunity to have our mobile science lab and scientists visit you on-site, we also offer in-person programming for grades 4-9 on Rutgers’ Busch Campus. This expanded program continues to support our goal of providing your students exciting, standards-based learning opportunities led by Rutgers’ scientists.
