Specific Aim 1 - Academic Enrichment: Focused, grade-level appropriate instruction in math and science
with reinforcement components with the goal of building confidence and further interest in STEM and business and technology-related fields.
Specific Aim 2 - College Readiness: ACT preparatory courses with pre and post-test analysis will be offered.
An additional emphasis on the college admissions process, financial literacy, and the financial aid process will be infused into the summer experience.
Specific Aim 3 - Career Exploration: Daily career exploration workshops with a spotlight on a different emerging industry with a significant impact on the local economy. Workshops will either include an industry-relative guest speaker or a guided hands-on activity with a local industry expert.
