Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM)

Access to high-quality, affordable STEM enrichment opportunities are virtually nonexistent for low-income and historically marginalized students. BEAM provides these opportunities from 7th grade through college so students can reach their potential and realize their STEM dreams. This grant will support our foundational programs: Discovery, a 5-week camp for rising 7th graders where students explore advanced math, and Summer Away, a 3-week residential program for rising 8th graders where students learn college-level math and build community.

This grant will support Discovery, a 5-week camp for rising 7th graders where students learn advanced math unlike what they’ve seen in school, and Summer Away, a 3-week residential program for rising 8th graders where students learn college-level math and make friends for life. BEAM serves students who are underrepresented in STEM, especially students who are Black, Latinx, and Indigenous; from low-income families; and first-generation college goers. BEAM supports students for 10 years through college helping them achieve their STEM dreams.
