MSTAR/Intel

What is MSTAR?

• MSTAR is a four year rigorous lab based science research program at Murrow. 
• MSTAR students acquire advanced scientific concepts and research techniques that will allow them to successfully obtain the necessary skills to conduct research under the guidance of college professors.
• All MSTAR classes are honor, enrichment classes where students also obtain technical writing and presentation skills. 
• MSTAR students successfully compete in many city-wide and national STEM competitions in their sophomore, junior and senior years.
• The MSTAR program provides opportunities for students to embark on industrial and academic internships and prepares them to be college and career ready.
• These unique opportunities give MSTAR students a clear advantage to outperform their peers in life beyond Murrow.
• Please note that accepted students must remain in the program for at least two (2) years and maintain an 85 average to remain in the program.
