FORSE is a ground-breaking program that works to close opportunity gaps and increase diversity in all Minnesota science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. How? By opening doors for students from populations that are underrepresented in STEM careers. FORSE brings scientists and students together for hands-on STEM learning experiences, helping young people from diverse backgrounds envision a future for themselves in STEM.

Each year, FORSE partners with Saint Paul Public Schools to bring STEM Play Days to hundreds of elementary students. At STEM Play Days, students engage with fun, hands-on activities that underline STEM principles in a playful way. By sparking curiosity early, we help students explore how STEM connects to the world around them—and imagine what they can become.

How does FORSE work?
FORSE partners with schools, summer programs, and other educational programs (“educational partners”) and responds to their unique needs and STEM education goals. With the help of our sponsors and community partners, MAS connects young people from diverse backgrounds and their teachers with mentors, STEM tutoring, enrichment and career pathway videos by STEM professionals, and STEM curriculum. We also support coding clubs, facilitate our popular “STEM play days” and more!
Thanks to our FORSE sponsors!
