student looks into microscope at stem center open house

San Bernardino Valley College’s STEM-MESA Center drew scores of students to its open house April 8. 

Students did hands-on STEM activities and collected a stamp from each station to exchange for food from Habit Burger & Grill. They met STEM-MESA staff, connected with other students, and learned about the center’s academic support services. 

The STEM-MESA program offers free tutoring and supplemental instruction sessions to STEM students, who can also participate in STEM-related activities, campus events, and field trips. The Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program supports students pursuing science, engineering, and math degrees.
