Michigan Tech Mind Trekkers Hands-On STEM: Discover the science behind the mystery!

Mind Trekkers is a student organization at Michigan Technological University that aims to engage K-12 students in hands-on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We are a branch of the Center for Pre-College Outreach, and we travel to wherever the science takes us: local events, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Washington DC are just some of the places we have impacted.
