The University of Minnesota Twin Cities - Rooted in STEM program is a mentorship initiative for high school students (grades 10-12) from historically underrepresented identities in STEM. The program focuses on exposing participants to STEM academics, research, and a supportive community at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Students will explore cutting-edge STEM fields and careers through faculty presentations, lab tours, and hands-on activities.

The program emphasizes connecting participants with undergraduate mentors and peers who share similar backgrounds and interests, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. Participants who continuously attend the program and are admitted to the College of Science and Engineering in their 12th grade year may be eligible for a $40,000 scholarship.
Participants attend Saturday sessions from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., which include faculty presentations, lab tours, and hands-on activities, alongside mentorship from undergraduate students.
This program is ideal for high school students in grades 10-12 from historically underrepresented identities in STEM who are interested in exploring STEM fields and attending a four-year university.
