DREAM was founded in 2007 to help increase the number of underrepresented minority students earning undergraduate degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This year, more than 50 Rice engineering undergraduates have worked with students from Chavez, KIPP Academy and Stephen F. Austin High School.
"These kids are learning by doing. The Rice mentors guide them along the way, answer their questions and give them encouragement, but the kids themselves do the work," said Juan (Tony) Castilleja Jr., who co-founded DREAM as an undergraduate at Rice with other students and Brent C. Houchens, assistant professor of mechanical engineering.
