BOSS is an annual spring conference for high school students in east Tennessee; we reach nearly 100 9th-12th graders each year. This year’s BOSS is scheduled for Saturday, February 19th, 2022. Our vision is to bring information on STEM careers and exposure to university life to historically underrepresented populations, and get them excited about STEM and being a VOL. This year’s theme is What is Your STEM Superpower?

BOSS is a growing online resource for teachers and students dedicated to STEM learning. This work includes conferences, workshops, and connections to other STEM agencies.

BOSS utilizes game-based technology as a tool for STEM learning and engagement; using game-based learning helps to make STEM fun and easily accessible.
