The Fostering Opportunities and Resources in STEM Education FORSE program supports both formal science, technology, engineering, and math STEM education in highly diverse schools and informal STEM learning experiences for students from populations underrepresented in STEM fields. FORSE activities meet the identified needs of each educational partner site, provide resources and support to teachers, and increase student self-confidence, interest, and knowledge of careers related to STEM. This year, MAS served more then 3,700 students through FORSE. The vast majority of the students served identify as black/African/African-American, Latinx/Hispanic, Indigenous/Native American, Hmong, or multi-racial and approximately 86 also qualify for free and reduced lunch. Educators receiving FORSE services enthusiastically endorse the program.
Expenses $157,659

The MN State Science Engineering Fair was held in-person on March 24, 2023 in St. Paul, MN with several virtual components. The event included student peer networking, judging, public viewing, and enrichment activities including 10 exhibitor booths, a traveling planetarium, free Science Museum admission, and giveaways. The event concluded with a student social with food and trivia. Virtual aspects of the program included online registration for students and judges online submission of and access to project materials a virtual welcome ceremony and keynote address, and an online awards ceremony and awards announcements. 323 students, representing 276 projects and 65 schools, participated. 221 STEM professionals volunteered to score projects and provide feedback to students, and more volunteered as special awards judges and general event volunteers. Efforts to increase student access to this activity included the one-day event structure, lower registration costs and fee waivers for those with financial need, and new, standardized project presentation guidelines.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
