For Summer 2026, we are trying a new method of registration. Registration will be by teacher nomination to begin with.
Our goal has always been to reach the brightest, most curious young minds in our community with potential to be a STEM professional one day. We have come to recognize that many of those students simply do not know a program like ours exists, or would never think to sign up on their own if they came across it by chance or word of mouth etc. By working directly with teachers in Santa Fe and Española, we can actively identify and invite students who have the talent and drive to thrive here but who might otherwise never walk through our doors.
It is our effort to build the most diverse, multi-talented group of young people possible. One that reflects the full richness of our communities in Northern New Mexico. We genuinely believe that when students from all walks of life learn together, everyone benefits, including your own.
Please reach out to your child's teacher and ask whether your child can be nominated. On May 11, we might open the registration up to the public if we still have some spots open.
