The Oraculi Mission:
Our mission is to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and scholars by lowering entry barriers to STEM through Science Fair participation, for all students in Rochester, MN.
What does Oraculi Do?
Students are paired with our mentors based on their interests and project needs; we want to help students achieve their STEM Fair goals!
Our mission is to reach students who have been told that STEM isn’t interesting or applicable outside of school, who have been disengaged, and/or who may not be able to otherwise afford science fair materials.

Start Preparing: Upcoming Events
Rochester Regional STEM Fair
The STEM Fair is an event where students can showcase science and engineering projects. Prior to the event, students find a question or problem that interests them. They build prototypes or conduct experiments, sharing what they learned with their peers. Students may win awards based on quality of their projects and presentations.
The STEM Fair will be held during school hours at the Rochester Regional Sports Complex.

GATEway Science Fair
All interested students in grades 3-6 in any public, private, or home school in Rochester or surrounding communities are invited to participate.
The GATEway Science Fair is non-competitive: no ribbons or prizes are awarded. Conduct an experiment for your science fair project at home, then bring your project board to the Science Fair. You will explain your project to three different reviewers who are science professionals, and you will receive written reviews with them with encouragement and feedback!
