Once accepted, students advance through the curriculum in their STEM studio with the goal of completing the requirements for a STEM Endorsement on their diploma. On their journey toward endorsement, students will have the opportunity to conduct original research, participate in mentoring programs, connect with industry and business leaders, collaborate with fellow students, participate in competitive STEM related programs, and engage with the professional community in their respective fields.
