Open to all North Carolina middle schoolers

ExperiMentors is a program for North Carolina middle school students and their families! Through six weeks of virtual afterschool programming, you’ll meet engaging scientists from near and far as we explore their careers, their pathways into science and the challenges they’ve overcome. We'll do fun hands-on science experiments using simple supplies that you can gather right at home!

Our mentors will include scientists of all genders, races and identities who will break down stereotypes in their fields and challenge your idea of what a scientist looks like.

Program runs 4:00–5:30pm on Thursdays via the Zoom platform.
