Tulane University’s BATS Program provides fifth through seventh grade boys with the opportunity to meet and work with role models in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Workshops developed and offered by Tulane faculty and Tulane student teams encourage boys to inquire, investigate, and discover in a science and engineering environment. Our goal is to open the doors wide and welcome young students to careers in STEM fields by encouraging creative thinking, promoting self-esteem, and increasing awareness of the opportunities that await them.
Are you in 5th-7th grade? Be a Boy at Tulane in STEM!
Join us for hands-on learning and fun with all kinds of scientists and engineers at Tulane. Participants will visit three different labs where they will do workshops in STEM fields. Lunch (pizza), snacks, and a t-shirt** will be provided.
The cost is $10. Please do not mail checks or forms until contacted by email. There are NO REFUNDS. Participants with complete applications including payment and forms will be accepted on a first come/first serve basis.**We do our best to accommodate requests for specific t-shirt sizes, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will get their first choice of sizes.

Want to Bring a Group of Boys to BATS?
Fill out the group registration form and someone from our team will reach out with more information. Registration for this event will open on August 13, 2025. Spots are limited!
We have some policies regarding group registration:
1.Groups can bring no more than 15 students**.
2.In order to secure your spots, you must reserve your spots prior to the event.
3.Groups MUST use registration spreadsheet provided through email.
4.Signed forms for each boy must be provided on the morning of BATS. If we do not have forms for a student, that student MAY NOT participate in BATS.
Please understand that we are trying to make the registration process easier for everyone. We believe that these policies regarding groups will benefit everyone and enable us to maximize the number of students that we reach with BATS.
**One way to limit number of students to 15. The coordinator for one school group that has participated in BATS many times asks their science teachers to select boys from their classes that would benefit from attending the workshop. They are usually their top performing students. They also like to select different students for each BATS event.
Please email K12STEM@tulane.edu with questions or more information.
