The Dream Tour is invested in helping your child achieve his or her dreams of a bright future.
That’s why we’re traveling to middle schools across America with some of the country’s top scientists, encouraging students like yours to reach their dream by going to college and studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
At first glance, these subjects sometimes seem hard. We’re here to tell you that, with a little hard work and studying, the goal of college and a career in the sciences is well within your child’s reach. We support your demanding the best for your child, including well-trained teachers and increased access to college-level classes and Advanced Placement classes.
The Dream Tour website is here to help you help your child!
We’ve included a list of links to a list of classes for your student to take to prepare for college, and links to universities, technical colleges, and interest groups. In just a few weeks, we’ll be adding a number of items to the website including fun games and quizzes as well as homework help.
Be sure to let us know what you think! Tell us your thoughts about the Tour and what you would like to see more of on the site.
