Bruins Encouraging Active Minds (BEAM) at UCLA was created to provide K-12 students across the Los Angeles area with engaging, hands-on activities that promote interest in science, technology, engineering and math. If you have an interest in mentoring K-12 students, using your science and engineering skills to lead and develop hands-on activities, planning and leading youth outreach efforts, or just want to give teaching a try and have fun by improving your community, we strongly urge you to consider joining BEAM-UCLA. You do not have to be an engineer or science major: all majors are welcome. If your interest in science or engineering began with similar outreach programs, now is your chance to promote science in these young students’ lives.
