Choose your own adventure with EPPIC-STEM, an initiative with regional K-12 school systems for historically underrepresented students in higher education to explore today’s STEM disciplines, emerging career fields, and innovative research.
Engaging Prospective Patriots Investigating Careers in STEM
EPPIC-STEM is a partnership between the College of Science and regional K-12 school system college access initiatives to expand awareness of 21st Century career pathways in STEM for students historically underrepresented in higher education. Secondary school students participating in regional K-12 college access initiatives visit Mason’s Fairfax campus to explore today’s STEM disciplines, emerging career fields, and innovative research through a “choose your own adventure” series of Mason faculty-led, small group discussions. Participants also enjoy lunch on campus while hearing from current students about their experiences as Mason STEM Scholars, and take a walking tour of Mason’s Fairfax Campus, including a STEM lab tour.
More information about EPPIC-STEM will be posted soon.
