Goals

Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) Goals

Goals

1. Increase the likelihood that historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students will successfully graduate high school and enter a collegiate science program
2. Provide activities that introduce and further prepare high school students for careers in math, science, and technology—particularly in cybersecurity, programming, and mathematics—with the goal of increasing participation among underrepresented students in these fields
3. Increase the likelihood that participants of the STEP activities will matriculate into professional/pre-professional programs in STEM-related areas
4. Allow high school students with advanced standing in Information Systems and Computer Science to take college- level math/technological/science skills while still in high school
5. Introduce high school students to research-related activities, and increase their cybersecurity, programming, math knowledge and experimental skills
