Tulane's Girls in STEM at Tulane (GiST) and Boys at Tulane in STEM (BATS) programs provide 5th – 7th-grade students with the opportunity to meet and work with undergraduate, graduate, faculty, and professional role models in STEM fields. Workshops developed by faculty and student teams empower students to inquire, investigate, and discover in a positive environment. Our goal is to open the doors wide and welcome young students to careers in STEM fields by encouraging creative thinking, promoting self-esteem, and increasing awareness of the opportunities in STEM that await them.
Registration for BATS is now open. If you are interested in registering a student for BATS please use the QR Code above. The cost is $10. Students will be provided with a t-shirt and snacks when they arrive. Lunch will also be served. There are NO REFUNDS. Participants with complete applications including payment and forms will be accepted on a first come/first serve basis.
Are you interested in being a group of students to BATS? Please contact us: [email protected].
