STEM Academies for Students K-12 student activities build an early foundation for a lifelong appreciation of STEM
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education offers exciting events, activities and programs for K-12 students to engage in STEM education opportunities that build a solid foundation for future STEM careers. Through our STEM academies, mainly offered during the summer months, students are exposed to a variety of engaging activities that supplement classroom learning and encourage an interest in STEM-related subjects.
ORISE K-12 activities offer students a way to participate in authentic, hands-on experiences designed to engage young minds in STEM subjects and challenge them beyond the classroom environment. Students interested in learning more about STEM careers can participate in several programs that will give one-of-a-kind experiences and access to professional researchers.
