A zip code shouldn't decide who gets to be a scientist.

Across California, one in three high schools offers no AP science track. Rural counties average 1.4 hours from the nearest STEM outreach program.

We don't think that's a pipeline problem. It's an access problem — and access is something you can engineer.
