Why Support Oraculi?

Oraculi is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Rochester, MN.

With your help, we can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and scholars by reducing entrance barriers to STEM for our local students.

At Oraculi, we believe every student should have access to the resources they need to feel confident in their scientific abilities. This includes access to good mentors, access to project-appropriate supplies, covered registration costs, and more.

This year, we are the fiscal agent of the Rochester Regional STEM Fair.

This means we are also accepting donations for awards (prize money) to be delivered to students after judging, on the behalf of the STEM Fair. This process is outlined in our document, found here.
