REAP provides a free, in-person, full-time research experience in NC State labs, specifically prioritizing students from groups underrepresented in STEM.
The Research Education Apprenticeship Program (REAP) at NC State offers high school students from underrepresented backgrounds a full-time, immersive experience in scientific and engineering research. Participants conduct hands-on research in NC State labs, engaging in activities such as data collection and analysis, under the direct supervision of faculty mentors. The program aims to expose students to the real world of research, expand their understanding of scientific inquiry, and motivate them towards STEM careers. Students gain valuable mentorship and develop critical skills for success in higher education and industry, including project and time management, independent and critical thinking, and written and verbal communication. The program culminates in a symposium where students present their findings.
In a typical setting, students spend time applying their knowledge, performing experiments, participating in field trips, or working in groups alongside researchers in university laboratories.
This program is ideal for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds with a strong interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) who are looking for an authentic, hands-on research experience.
