RockEDU advances inclusive science through mentorship, education, and authentic research experiences.
We help scientists, educators, and students create learning environments where more people can participate in science, develop their abilities, and see a place for themselves in the scientific community.

Experience science through research
Science becomes meaningful when students have opportunities to participate in it.
RockEDU research programs connect high school and undergraduate students with authentic scientific research and mentorship. Students work alongside scientists, develop research skills, ask questions, and experience how scientific knowledge is actually created and shared.
Mentors, in turn, learn how to support developing scientists with different experiences, needs, and perspectives.
