The Mid-America Transportation Center's STEM Academy is a multi-day summer program held on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus for high school students. The mission is two-fold:
- to provide an extended learning opportunity in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects to high school students, and
- to explore a wide-range of education and career options after high school.
The academy offers a broad range of hands-on activities that build interest in STEM subjects and transportation-related careers. The curriculum is developed and implemented by faculty, students, and leaders from across the country. Attendees have the unique opportunity to build a professional network with guest speakers and panelists, who provide mentorship by sharing their education and career success.
