The Alaska Native Science & Engineering Program (ANSEP) Career Explorations opportunity is organized to provide project exploration to Alaska middle school students who have yet to enter high school (i.e., students currently in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade). This experience promotes education and careers focusing on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Career Explorations sessions include a five-day, academic, hands-on experience that emphasizes increasing knowledge and skills while re-engaging students with ANSEP. Career Explorations activities will involve hands-on, exploratory projects lead by industry professionals, University faculty, or ANSEP staff.
