USC STAR Program
The USC Science, Technology and Research (STAR) Program is a collaborative science education venture involving the university, Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School, El Sereno Middle School and Murchison Elementary School. STAR educates children and their teachers - from kindergarten through 12th grade - about science, math, engineering and the unlimited potential of science and engineering to enrich not only classroom learning, but also our lives.
