Information
Teens Go STEM is a free educational program open to students in 9th-12th grades. During the program, students will explore health care careers while engaging with medical and health sciences students and professionals through career focused breakout sessions, tours, and medical simulations. There will also be a focus on health care skills, critical issues impacting Iowa’s health care, health literacy and how to pursue a career in health care. Registered students must be accompanied by an adult. While students are participating in STEM programming, adults will be offered discussions and resource sessions with University of Iowa experts.
