DREAM – Achievement through Mentorship strives to increase the number of underrepresented minority students earning undergraduate degr

ees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields through team-based, high school mentoring. DREAM mentees:
learn what engineers do and understand the roles of mathematics, science and technology in engineering, through participation in exciting, team-based design projects and university visits where they present their designs
understand long-term earning potential in STEM fields, as an alternative to entering the workforce directly out of high school
prepare for the rigors of university education in STEM curricula because they understand the importance of enrolling in upper-level math and science electives
are encouraged to prepare for college entrance exams
are guided through college and financial aid applications

DREAM mentors:
improve leadership and communication skills through experiential learning
find value in using their knowledge to solve the real-world problem of diversifying the STEM pipeline

DREAM impacts K-12 outreach locally and nationally through:
nurturing relationships between Rice University and the Houston community
developing assessment measures to evaluate the effectiveness of mentoring
disseminating research instruments and program findings through journal publications and presentations
