Seniors/Juniors I emailed you an attachment of courses offered by Lackawanna College for the Spring. This is all student/parent driven and does not count towards anything at CHS. Although they most likely would transfer to the college you are attending. You can check this on PATRAC. https://www.patrac.org/

My name is Krysti Burton, and I work for the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) on our Academies & Institutes programs. As part of these programs, we are excited to announce that applications have opened for two free summer learning opportunities! ARC is offering two summer study programs: the Appalachian Entrepreneurship Academy (AEA) and the Appalachian STEM Academy at Oak Ridge. Both are FREE intensive learning experiences specifically for the Appalachian Region’s high school and/or middle school students and teachers. There is no application fee, and ARC covers all travel, lodging and meals for participants.

The Appalachian Entrepreneurship Academy (AEA), developed in partnership with Appalachian State University, EntreEd, and STEM West, prepares the next generation of regional entrepreneurial leaders and thinkers. High school students from across Appalachia will be selected to participate in a comprehensive curriculum designed to cultivate creativity, sharpen business acumen, and develop skills essential for entrepreneurial success. The students will have the opportunity to develop and implement business ideas, refine and prototype those ideas, and deliver a shark-tank-style pitch presentation for an audience of entrepreneurs. AEA will be held from July 5-18, 2025, at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. More information and application materials are available at www.arc.gov/AEA.

The Appalachian STEM Academy is a hands-on learning experience for Appalachia’s middle and high school students, as well as high school teachers in STEM-related fields. Hosted by Oak Ridge Associated Universities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, this program is a gateway to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the Appalachian Region. High school participants will work with award-winning scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and both high school and middle school students will conduct guided group science, math, computer science, and technology research projects. High school teachers will work with science practitioners to develop STEM-related curriculum. Many students gain their first exposure to applied science and STEM education through this experience.

• Middle School STEM Academy Session 1: July 5-11, 2025
• Middle School STEM Academy Session 2: July 12-18, 2025
• High School STEM Academy (students and teachers): July 5-18, 2025

The programs will be held at Oak Ridge Associated Universities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. More information and application materials are available at www.arc.gov/STEM.

Applications for both programs are due by 11:59 pm EST on December 6, 2024.

Please view our flyers for AEA and the Appalachian STEM Academy that can be shared with students and teachers. We need your help spreading the word about these opportunities so students in your district can take advantage of these programs offered by ARC. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you (or any of your teachers or students) would like to set up a time to talk about these opportunities. Students with questions can email academies@arc.gov.

Thank you,
Krysti
