Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Opportunities for Learning
Interested in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics?? Want to learn more about STEM fields??
As I receive notices about educational programs and events for exploring STEM related topics, I will try to post links below. Please note that posting them does NOT represent my endorsement of any specific programs. Also, some of them cost a significant amount of money, which does not necessarily make them a better program. However, I do like to show you options that exist for you, so browse through the choices from time to time. Also, please let me know about any STEM opportunities you find. Some of these may be old (from previous years), but perhaps you can find the new information via these links.

Air Force Research Laboratories IntershipsOpportunities to work in actual research laboratories with the U.S. Air Force.
These are paid internships. Selected interns gain valuable hands-on experiences working with full-time AFRL scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research and technology and are able to contribute to unique, research-based projects. |
Opportunity for Women Interested in Medicine and/or EngineeingPerry Outreach Program on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM. The Perry Outreach Program is a free, one-day, hands-on experience for high school and college-aged women who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine and engineering. Students will hear from women leaders in these fields and try it for themselves by performing mock orthopaedic surgeries and biomechanics experiments.

Envision Summer ProgramEnvision is an 8-day summer college campus experience for exploring the fields of engineering and technology. The program is offered at four different campuses: Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering near Boston, MA, the University of California in Berkeley, CA, Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA or Loyola University in Chicago, IL. This program is expensive, but could possibly give you an advantage in being admitted later to a college for engineering or technology.
