While
in middle or high school, there are a variety of international, national, regional, and
local programs and projects that can help you explore career paths in
science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine.
By participating
in these projects, you can also develop a network of other students with
similar interests and goals. They also provide opportunities for
teamwork and many students earn recognition for their skills through
awards and sometimes scholarships.
In addition, joining
or starting a math, science, or computing club at your school can boost
your experience and share mathematical fun with like minded students.

Featured Program:
RealWorld-InWorld Engineering Design Challenge
The competition offers high school students a unique
opportunity to work with university students and
engineering mentors in a 3-dimensional virtual world to
solve authentic NASA-inspired, design-based engineering
problems using 21st century technology tools and skills. |
The following list is a
sample of programs, resources, and projects which may be of interest to you. Be sure
to check with your local university to see if they sponsor local math,
science, technology, engineering, or medicine related competitions.
