In this program, students will explore real-world datasets from sources like St. Louis Open Data and Data is Plural, conducting research on topics of their interest. By integrating research, mentorship, and exposure to different mathematical concepts and their applications through presentations by invited speakers-STARS@SLU offers a unique opportunity to strengthen students’ confidence and engagement in mathematics. The program aims to expand equitable access to mathematical research and encourage and equip more students from diverse backgrounds to pursue STEM fields. Visit our website for more details.
