Keywords: education, research, mentorship, STEM, access
SHTEM is a selective summer program at Stanford that provides high school and community college students with early, hands-on exposure to research and innovation. By pairing students with faculty, graduate students, and postdocs, the program democratizes access to world-class research while emphasizing interdisciplinary exploration. Our goal is to transition the program from virtual to its first ever in-person session this summer as well as grow the program’s reach, ensure sustainability, and cultivate the next generation of diverse innovators and scholars.
Skillset needs: We are in early growth planning and welcome a diverse range of expertise: from education program design, outreach, and nonprofit sustainability, to fundraising, marketing, and curriculum development. We’re especially interested in people with experience in communications and scaling educational programs.
