This program offers a free, full-time, in-person research experience in NC State labs with faculty mentorship, specifically prioritizing students from groups underrepresented in STEM.
The NC State University High School Summer Research Program (REAP) offers high school students from underrepresented backgrounds the opportunity to engage in full-time, faculty-mentored research within NC State labs. Participants work alongside faculty and graduate mentors, gaining exposure to the scientific process from hypothesis to conclusion. The program emphasizes hands-on field research and laboratory analysis, allowing students to develop practical skills and explore various scientific topics. A key outcome of the program is the presentation of their research findings at a closing symposium, fostering communication and presentation skills. Students also receive mentorship on navigating career paths in science and attend seminars that prepare them for university-level research. The program aims to build a community among students interested in similar careers and provides valuable experience for college applications.
Students work full-time in a lab setting, conducting field research and laboratory analysis, and attend seminars and mentorship sessions.
The program is best for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds who are interested in a rigorous, in-person lab research experience in STEM.
