A Summer of STEM Success at Central Piedmont! 🚀

Two students presenting their postersThis summer, 70 Central Piedmont students completed the Honeywell STEM Prep Program! 🌟 Designed for 10th-12th graders, this program provided a hands-on, project-based experience to gear up for college-level STEM courses.

🌐 What They Did:

  • Diving into STEM: Students tackled math and a second class tailored to their interests—whether in science, technology, or engineering. 🧪💻🔧
  • Prepping for College: The program was all about getting these future stars ready for the challenges of college-level STEM. 🎯

🎓 What’s Next:

  • Full-Time Enrollment: Many of our 12th graders will be joining Central Piedmont full-time this fall! 📚
  • Dual Enrollment: Several 10th and 11th graders are planning to dual enroll, continuing their STEM journey with us. 🔗

🌟 Special Recognition:

  • Honeywell Scholars: Nicholas Wind-McJetters and Amariah Robinson represented Central Piedmont at UNC Charlotte’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Their poster presentations on July 26 were a huge hit! 🎉🎓
