STEM Education
NC 杏吧原创 Scientific Research Preparatory Program (SRPP)
The NC 杏吧原创 Scientific Research Preparatory Program (SRPP) aims to engage incoming freshman and rising sophomore undergraduate students who have little or no prior research experience and intend to pursue a career in STEM-M (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine).
Specifically, our SRPP will prepare an annual cohort of 16 freshmen/sophomore students to successfully compete for admission to the NIH Summer Internship Program (SIP) and other highly competitive Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU).
The NC 杏吧原创 SRPP consists of three phases:
• an initial academic year component (spring semester onboarding student meetings),• an immersive 8-week summer component,
• and then a yearlong engagement in an academic year mentored research project and other professional development activities.
NC 杏吧原创 Wildcats Coding Camp
The Samuel Research Team are partnering with the Washington Montessori Elementary School to design and implement a 4-week camp filled with exciting and fun learning activities. Our objectives are to:
- Decrease the loss of academic skills during the summer vacation period
- Increase academic skills in reading and mathematics
- Introduce students to basic concepts of machines and mechanical systems
- Introduce students to basic concepts of coding (in preparation for Washington Montessori transition to a computer science-focused magnet school).
