UTC STEM Scholars Program
June 15, 2017
There are not enough science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals to fill all the open positions. So, the New York Academy of Sciences teamed up with United Technologies Corporation (UTC) to transform the lives of enterprising high-school-aged students by helping to open their eyes to exciting opportunities in STEM. Each student receives customized, free one-on-one mentorship from a STEM professional, online coursework, and a global community of like-minded peers.
Deadline to apply is Thursday, June 15th. Below is a flyer for more information. If you have any questions, please contact: STEMScholars@nyas.org

Emoti-Con is NYC's biggest showcase for young designers, makers, technologists, and tinkerers who believe in digital innovation as a tool for positive change in the world around them. Students in grades 6-12 or enrolled in a GED program are invited to sign up, either as individuals or teams.
