The Stars Challenge at Monmouth University

The Stars Challenge was conceived on the beach in Naples, Florida in 2005.  We knew we wanted to do something about science and technology education for pre-college students.  But we couldn’t figure out what to do.  As the sun set, Margaret Ann said “We have Kumon, Sylvan and Huntington for kids who need help with math and science.  Let’s do something for the top math and science students so they get really excited about science and technology”.  That’s where it all began.

The Stars Challenge is tapping into a large unmet need for talented middle school students to explore their interests in science and technology.  We’ve found that students and their parents are hungry for the opportunity we provide to experience science in a hands-on exploratory fashion, to be guided by gifted teachers, and to work solving problems with peers who are also motivated to learn more about science.
