The BIO5 Institute Keep Engaging Youth in Science research internship program fosters new knowledge, new skills, and authentic self-confidence in Arizona high schoolers.

Past BIO5 KEYS interns continue to excel in the STEM fields by achieving prestigious awards, pursuing advanced degrees and giving back to the program.

After Nick Mather successfully completed the KEYS program, he’s still in awe of how he could investigate cancer metastasis with just a computer and remote interactions.

The KEYS program not only enabled Christina Niyigena to develop tools to simplify data processing methods, but it provided her an opportunity for personal growth.

Esha Mathur harnessed the powers of multiple computer software programs to advance the field of terrestrial viruses.

Sonia Mathur never considered data science as “real research,” but she now thinks otherwise after exploring correlations between rainwater contaminants and environmental factors with just her computer.
