The STEM Summer Enrichment Program aims to help improve students' knowledge of STEM fields and prepare them for further studies and careers in STEM.
High school students currently in grade 10 or 11 are invited to apply for Penn State Harrisburg’s School of Science, Engineering, and Technology free two-week STEM Summer Enrichment Program (STEM-SEP). The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 22. The program, which takes place June 10 to 21 on campus, will introduce high school students to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines and careers through hands-on activities in areas including mathematics, computer science, chemistry, biology, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and physics.
To apply, visit harrisburg.psu.edu/science-engineering-technology/STEM/summer-STEM-program/apply.
Attendees will participate in field trips; tours of Penn State Harrisburg labs and facilities; demonstrations; hands-on experimentation; and faculty-led training on scientific oral presentations.
The event will also feature workshop sessions conducted by discipline-specific instructors with emphasis on critical thinking and problem-solving skill.
At the completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate of accomplishment and be invited to attend the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology Capstone Design Conference which is held in May of each year.
STEM-SEP is supported by a grant from ArcelorMittal, the world's leading integrated steel and mining company.
