Who we are

Built for Oregon's Young Scientists

Rose City STEM is a student-run organization dedicated to expanding STEM access for Oregon's middle schoolers. What started as a Science Olympiad invitational has grown into a full STEM organization serving students across the state.

We host Oregon's one and only Division B Science Olympiad Invitational and a STEM Summer Camp — two programs designed to challenge, inspire, and elevate Oregon's next generation of scientists and engineers.

Both programs are led by Oregon Science Olympiad state medalists who bring real competitive expertise into the classroom and onto the competition floor — making Rose City STEM a true bridge between STEM educators and students.
