The Problem

Many students miss out on amazing STEM opportunities simply because they don't know they exist. Internships, research programs, scholarships, competitions, volunteer opportunities, and other resources are often spread across dozens of different websites, making them difficult and time-consuming to find. We want to make sure every student has an equal opportunity to discover these experiences, explore their interests, and build the skills they need for the future.

Our Plan

CORE is creating a free, centralized hub where students can easily find and participate in STEM opportunities, educational resources, and other ways to get involved. Alongside our STEM database, we'll share opportunities through social media, build partnerships with organizations, and develop programs that connect students with experiences, resources, and a supportive community. Our goal is to make STEM opportunities more accessible, less overwhelming to find, and available to every student who wants to learn and grow.
