RockEDU Science Outreach represents the collective science outreach and engagement efforts out of The Rockefeller University. The RockEDU team works in collaboration with scientists, students, educators, and fellow engagement professionals to produce programs and resources that meet the specific needs of our audiences. From research skills building workshops to accessible science-themed webinars to mentorship trainings, we approach our work by supporting humanity first, science second. After all, science is people driven, and should exist for everyone!

Over the last few years, RockEDU has learned a lot around connecting diverse communities around science. Check out our research education programs for high school juniors and seniors (LAB Jumpstart and SSRP), as well as a new initiative to support STEM research teachers (check out our interest form here!). As always, find us online at RockEDU Online and be on the lookout for Talking Science announcements, Last but not least, we are hard at work as we learn and change to make our scientific spaces more inclusive and conducive toward diverse, creative research.

Student 2021

The process of science changed for me because I thought that it was difficult and that I couldn’t be wrong, but this program allowed to be confident in my abilities and in my mistakes as well as understand that the science process is fun.
