The mission of the B2BTN is to inspire the next generation of innovators by fostering curiosity and passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through interactive learning experiences, including the design and construction of models of particle accelerators, the program seeks to engage and empower middle school students to explore the exciting world of cutting-edge STEM using particle accelerators and and other technologies.
Our vision of a program for fostering curiosity and passion for STEM will be accomplished by developing programs and curriculum for 6th through 8th grade students and giving them a path towards rewarding careers.
