¡Valle! aims to foster diversity by increasing the accessibility of research experiences, graduate school, and careers in STEM to all students. The program is extended, but not limited to, communities that are typically less represented in the STEM field such as people of color, women, financially disadvantaged students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. First and second year students are encouraged to apply. All applicants will be considered without regard to race or gender.
It’s never too early to get your start in tech. From Silicon Valley to the Central Valley to Yosemite Valley, ¡Valle! will help you to level up!
