STEM Opportunities for High School Students
This page is a broader umbrella than the individual subject pages on this site — useful specifically if you're still deciding between fields rather than already set on, say, biology versus computer science. Everything listed here is tagged as STEM generally, spanning multiple more specific subjects.
If you already have a narrower interest, the dedicated pages for engineering, computer science, biology, mathematics, environmental science, physics, chemistry, medicine, and robotics will generally surface more relevant, specific results than this broader view.

Common questions
Should I use this page or a more specific subject page?
Use this one if you're still exploring; use a specific subject page (biology, computer science, etc.) once you have a narrower interest — it'll surface more targeted results.
Do STEM opportunities require advanced coursework?
Most don't — entry-level and outreach programs are the majority of what's available, not just advanced placements for students who've already specialized.
Is it fine to apply to opportunities in multiple STEM fields at once?
Yes — exploring more than one field in parallel is common and often the whole point at this stage, rather than a downside on an application.
