Winter Outreach 2026

Our Winter Outreach Program will begin in January 2026.  There will be three meetings each month that will be different topics.  However, each month is a repeat of the previous months. The program is meant for middle school children in grades 6 - 8. Sign-ups will be available right after school starts ! 

Learn about the MATES School and our selective program.  We are one of the top STEM schools in New Jersey and offer our graduates an education that is unparalleled.
