Bay Area Scientists in Schools
Bay Area Scientists in Schools (BASIS) is a science and engineering volunteer role model program serving public elementary schools in Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond, and Pinole. We provide teachers and students the opportunity to interact with real-life scientists and engineers, while they explore hands-on science experiments and engineering challenges. We train our volunteers to communicate their research with a broader audience, sharing their love of science with the next generation!
Bay Area Graduate Programs in STEM
The mission of Bay Area Graduate Pathways to STEM (GPS) is to inspire diverse talent to become the next generation of innovative leaders through advanced engineering degrees. Bay Area GPS is a two day conference where students attend informative workshops addressing the benefits of pursuing an advanced degree, both MS and PhD, while also preparing for graduate school and the application process. GPS promotes graduate school opportunities to underrepresented minorities (URM), first generation and low income students at Bay Area, Northern California and select Southern California universities.
