We draw on Southern Research experts to create fun laboratory experiments and STEM experiences that have real-world applications. Our programs during the school year are aligned with the Alabama Course of Study, and we cover transportation costs and other expenses to ensure all schools can participate. We also support STEM education by offering free summer learning programs for high school students, internships for college students, and professional development workshops for STEM educators. Our mission is to strengthen the STEM community, to expose students to STEM careers, and to make learning fun.
