West Point Summer STEM Program Update

 

The Summer STEM Program held at the United States Military Academy at the beginning of each June will not be held this year, but we remain enthusiastic about supporting students’ curiosity and growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

We encourage students and families to use this summer as an opportunity to explore the wide range of Department of Defense (DoD) STEM programs available nationwide. These experiences offer exciting, hands-on ways for students to discover new STEM interests, build skills, and connect learning to real-world applications. Families can find a variety of engaging programs, resources, and events by visiting the DoD STEM website.

We appreciate your continued interest in the West Point Summer STEM Program and your commitment to STEM education. We hope students will take advantage of these opportunities to keep learning, exploring, and imagining what’s possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

                                                                                                    

West Point Summer STEM Program for Middle and High Schools

With support from many directorates and academic departments, the Center for Leader Development in STEM (CLDSTEM) organizes and runs West Point middle school and high school workshops for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Each summer, middle and high school students from across the United States are invited to come to West Point for a weeklong hands-on STEM workshop. 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 students from under-resourced, geographical locations to aspire to pursue STEM courses in high school and envision themselves in STEM careers.
