When Can Students Return to School After Being Sick?
Appalachian STEM Academy at Oak Ridge
Residential, hands-on learning experience for middle and high school students and high school teachers in STEM-related fields. All participants work with award-winning scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the largest U.S. Department of Energy research facilities in the United States. High school and middle school students conduct guided group science, math, and computer science technology research projects, while high school teachers work with science practitioners to develop STEM-related curriculum. Hosted by Oak Ridge Associated Universities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, this program is a gateway to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the Appalachian Region. Click HERE to learn more. Applications are due by February 2.
Appalachian Entrepreneurial Academy for High School Students
Appalachian State University, EntreEd and STEM West are preparing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders and thinkers. Participants have the opportunity to participate in experiential learning to cultivate creativity and develop essential entrepreneurial skills. Students develop and implement their business ideas, refine and prototype those ideas, and deliver a shark-tank-style pitch to a panel of entrepreneurs. For two weeks, AEA participants will, at no cost, reside on Appalachian State University’s campus and immerse themselves in the surrounding town of Boone, North Carolina. In addition to the work of developing their businesses, students will engage in recreational activities throughout the experience, including activities on-campus (including swimming, gaming, and playing sports) and in the region (including hiking, visiting local attractions, and attending arts and music performances). Click HERE to learn more and apply. Applications are due by February 2.
