Imhotep Academy provides a unique opportunity for middle school students to engage with STEM in a university setting, with a particular focus on expanding access for underrepresented groups.
Imhotep Academy is a year-round middle school enrichment program at NC State University's Science House, designed to introduce students to the world of STEM. The program emphasizes expanding access to STEM disciplines for all students, particularly those historically underrepresented in STEM. Participants engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including investigations, laboratory tours, and field trips. The curriculum aims to increase students' awareness and enthusiasm for STEM, build their confidence and identity in STEM, and inspire them to pursue STEM studies in high school and college. Students also interact with STEM professionals, gaining insights into potential career paths and developing leadership and college readiness skills. Summer sessions offer focused themes like 3D Printing and Biophysics, Data Science and AI, and Drone Wolves, allowing students to explore cutting-edge scientific and technological fields.
A typical summer day involves hands-on investigations, laboratory tours, and interactions with STEM professionals, with sessions running from 8:45 am to 2:00 pm or 1:00 pm depending on the week.
This program is best for middle school students interested in exploring various STEM fields through hands-on activities and gaining exposure to university environments and STEM professionals.
