If you are interested in working in this field and can commit to the program during the month of June, please email me, Deidre Cuffee-Gray (cuffee-grayd@arps.org) with your interest. Here’s the link that will take you to more information about it.https://www.experience.education/externships/
Expectations: Students wanting to attend must be interested in exploring the field and be able to commit fully. This is an all-or-nothing opportunity, meaning if a student signs up, they must see the commitment through to the end. Ideally slots will preference students underserved in STEM.
Format: The externships take place after school, typically, as well as on one Saturday. The students participate in groups in competition with other groups (often students from around the country or them world), listen to presentations from professionals in the fields, and learn about educational paths, etc. Student reviews so far are very strong.
