Breadcrumb center for leadership and diversity in stem middle and high school stem workshop Middle and High School STEM CampsWith support from many directorates and academic departments, the Center for Leadership and Diversity in STEM (CLD STEM) organizes and runs the West Point middle school and high school STEM camps. Each summer, middle and high school students from across the United States are invited to come to West Point for a week-long hands-on STEM camp. The overarching goal is to increase interest in STEM through inquiry-based projects; develop and reinforce student science, math and problem-solving skills that are prerequisites to success in high school and college; and motivate under-resourced geographical locations to aspire to pursue STEM courses in high school and envision themselves in STEM careers. Eligibility This unique program offers students currently in 6th and 7th grade (Middle School) and 8th and 9th grade (High School) the opportunity to participate in hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities taught by Academy faculty and cadet mentors. Students must be citizens of the United States, demonstrate strong academic performance, and demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing college Important Dates: Summer of 2023 - CANCELLED We are hoping to bring it back summer of 2024. Thank you for your interest in the program. Tuition CLD STEM has received generous donations which allow us to cover tuition for all students selected to participate in the 2022 workshop. Housing, meals, and all activities will be provided by the scholarship; however, travel for students to and from West Point is not included and must be provided by the family. Meals and Housing For in-person camps, breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner are provided at no cost for all participants. At in-person camps, all students will stay in the barracks at West Point under the supervision of cadet mentors and faculty members. Transportation CLD STEM will arrange for a West Point team to pick-up and drop off students flying unaccompanied to Newark, New Jersey (each student is responsible for arranging transportation to and from West Point if in the northeastern region of the United States, or to Newark Airport if arriving from more distant regions).
