Please find the answers to some frequently asked questions from past workshops. We will continue to update this page with pertinent information as needed. 

Schedule

• The workshop for students currently in 6th and 7th grade will be 2-6 June 2025.
• The workshop for students currently in 8th and 9th grade will be 9-13 June 2025.
• Parents/Guardians will drop off students at West Point on Monday afternoon and will pick them up on Friday morning after the Closing Ceremony.
• Students will participate in hands-on STEM activities on a variety of STEM topics which change year to year based on faculty expertise. Some activities held in the past include soldiering circuits, robotics, egg drop competition, fuel cell cars, mechanical circuits, fish biodiversity, water chemistry, data analytics, and bridge building. 
• We understand that some schools are still in session at the beginning of June. We hold the workshop at this time because of cadet, faculty, and facilities availability. We do offer a STEM program, Lainis STEMinar, for local students later in the summer. See website for additional information.
