PEER & WISE

Academic Outreach in STEM Education

Pathway to Scientific Discovery

Hands-on learning that sparks curiosity stands at the core of PEER & WISE's mission. By creating open pathways to scientific discovery, the program encourages students as early as middle school, cultivating the potential for future success in STEM fields. Through innovative, engaging experiences, PEER & WISE helps students explore, discover, and imagine the incredible opportunities that await them in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

For middle school students, we introduce them to the exciting world of STEM through hands-on workshops, interactive demonstrations, and summer programs that make learning science and technology fun and accessible.

For high school students, we offer advanced workshops, research opportunities, and college summer pathways programs that provide a head start in building the skills and connections for competitive STEM programs.
