Upward Bound Math & Science

STEAMM LOGO good UPDATED

The IVC Upward Bound Math & Science program has been supporting local students since 2016. Students in the Upward Bound Math & Science (UBMS) will participate in fun and engaging activities that will explore STEMM, computers, science, biology, chemistry, engineering, and math. The activities will provide an opportunity for students to also meet local and out of county professionals from the STEMM career industry. The afterschool activities and Saturday events will help improve the student's skills in the area of Math and Science. Students will get to meet with professors and STEMM professionals who will provide the guidance necessary to reach their goals of obtaining a degree in math or science. Students in the UBMS program explore careers in Engineering, Computer Science, Anthropology, Paleontology, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Cosmology & Much More!
