From research presentations to hands-on workshops, the Rice Research & Exploration Symposium brought educators and leaders together to explore how cutting-edge research can reach K–12 classrooms—and ultimately inspire the next generation of innovators.

At , we believe meaningful STEM education is built through strong connections between educators, researchers, industry, and community partners. 🤝

We’re grateful for the educators, researchers, and partners who help make experiences like this possible—and we’re excited to continue building connections across Houston and Texas to bring more STEM learning opportunities to classrooms and communities. 🚀

Still reeling from this experience! 🚁🩸 Our students had the opportunity to visit Memorial Hermann this summer, where they got an up-close look at the Life Flight helicopter and explored the hospital’s blood bank.

Such a cool, hands-on experience that brought healthcare and to life! 🔬❤️
